-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Does anybody have any links/howtos on creating an encrypted file system using ext3?

Hey, Thanks for sending me the patch Wiktor, but I was looking for the patch ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz . If someone has that let me know. Does it work well with kernel 2.4.14 (any installation issues ?) . Why can't I download from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3 page. If someone can zip the gz patch and email it to me that would be awesome. My email client acts up sometimes.

Tried to convert a 60 gig ext2 disk to ext3. Used tune2fs version 1.22 (it said). The filesystem refused to be converted with that version. Upgraded to 1.25 of e2fsprogs and the problem went away. My two cents. /Benjamin

...ly to be? Will I be able to use the full capacity of the drive? I seem to recall that the trick with large hard disks and old BIOSes is to disable the drive in the BIOS and let the OS detect the disk itself... is this the case with FreeBSD as well?

Good morning, I have tried to compile a 2.4.14 kernel (because I have some trouble with the framebuffer and my Toshiba...). Thus, I have downloaded the latest kernel and the ext3 patch. I have used the .config file used for the compilation of my 2.4.13 kernel, but the compilation ends with make[1]: Quitte le répertoire `/usr/src/linux-2.4.14/arch/i386/lib' ld -m elf_i386 -T

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having problems similar to what many people are facing on this list. I have done everything as the emails suggest. I am using SuSE 7.3 with the the 2.4.10 kernel and ext3 compiled as a module. Because it is 2.4.10 kernel, I created all my journals from a rescue disk and everything seems to be working right for the non-root filesystems. My fstab has all my

I administer a remote server and want to apply some of the security patches. (I assume this is the best way to go since I can't go into single-user mode to use CVsup). I have a couple of questions. First, I have installed one of the pgp ports to verify the patches. When I run it, I get this message: > File 'buffer46.patch.asc' has signature, but with no text. > Text is

Hi, We have a large (8 CPUs, 32GB RAM) x86 Sun server running x8664 Debian Lenny, with Samba 2:3.2.5-4lenny6. It's a BDC and file server.
