Which are the steps to apply a Ext3 file system?
Im intending use Ext3 file system in my web farm.
Im using RedHat 6.2 (kernel 2.2.16-3) and Turbo Linux Cluster Server 6.0.
I have NO SUCCESS in path my own kernel.
I downloaded the following ext3 packages:
ext3-0.0.2f.tar.gz (linux-2.2.16-3.kdb.diff , linux-2.2.16-3.ext3.diff )
e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.i386.rpm
e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.src.rpm
e2fsprogs-1.20-0ext3.i386.rpm
e2fsprogs-devel-1.20-0.WIP.i386.rpm
quota-2.00pre3-7a.i386.rpm
quota-2.00pre3-7a.src.rpm
I had applied the following steps:
1- I copied the linux-2.2.16-3.kdb.diff and linux-2.2.16-3.ext3.diff to
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/ directory and applied them:
patch -p1 < linux-2.2.16-3.kdb.diff
patch -p1 < linux-2.2.16-3.ext3.diff
2- I configured the kernel, saying YES to "Enable Second extended fs
development code", and built it.
3- I applied all rpm ext3 packages:
rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.20-0ext3.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-devel-1.20-0.WIP.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh quota-2.00pre3-7a.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh quota-2.00pre3-7a.src.rpm
4- I built the kernel again.
5- I turned off/on the machine.
5- So, I tryed create a ext3 filesystem:
[root]# mke3fs /dev/hda6
mke3fs: Must be run on a kernel with ext3 support.
Which are the steps to apply a Ext3 file system?
What am I suppose to do?

RE: Which are the steps to apply a Ext3 file system?
I got ext3-0.0.6b patch, as you suggested me, and applied it. So, I tried configure the kernel, but the option "Enable Second extended fs development code" isn't shown anymore. I must remenber you, Im using RedHat 6.2 with kernel 2.2.16-3. Im intending install Intermezzo in my web farm. Im trying to install ext3 because Intermezzo needs ext3 fs. Can I apply ext3 fs with kernel 2.2.16-3? Or I need update RH kernel? Best regards, --- Caren Nichele -----Original Message----- From: Brian J.

You write:> 3- I applied all rpm ext3 packages: > rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.i386.rpm > rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.20-0ext3.i386.rpm > rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.20-0.WIP.src.rpmYou have too many of these. You only need the most recent one (I don't know which it is). Also, you don't need the .src.rpm if you are not building the e2fsprogs yourself.> [root]# mke3fs /dev/hda6 > mke3fs: Must be run on a kernel with ext3 support.I think this is a message from an old version of the e2fsprogs. In fact, e2fsprogs does not have mke3fs I think (mine does, but that's another story). Try using "mke2fs -j /dev/hda6" to make a new filesystem.
