I desperately need the ability to quickly recover from a power loss so I am finally going to break down and spend some time with ext3. I dl'ed the ext3-0.0.6b.tar.gz and unzipped it in /usr/src. Then I installed kernel-source-2.2.19-6.2.1.i386.rpm from redhat I then treid to apply the patches: cat ../ext3-0.0.6b/linux-2.2.19pre14.kdb.diff | patch -sp1 cat ../ext3-0.0.6b/linux-2.2.19pre14.ext3.diff | patch -sp1 But got prompted for which file to patch and not knowing what to do I returned through them and got nastygrams about hunks being ingnored. This I can see since I did not tell it what to do. Can I apply these patched to the redhat source and if so what do I need to do? I just subscribed to this list and have not recieved a message yet so I hope you guys are out there. This output is a little different since I tried again from clean source and did just the ext3 diff Here is some of the output: TIA Bret [root linux]# cat ../ext3-0.0.6b/linux-2.2.19pre14.ext3.diff | patch -sp1 The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- linux-2.2.19pre14.ext3-0.0.6b/arch/i386/kdb/kdb.c.~1~ Wed Feb 21 20:01:41 2001 |+++ linux-2.2.19pre14.ext3-0.0.6b/arch/i386/kdb/kdb.c Wed Feb 21 20:02:45 2001 -------------------------- File to patch: Skip this patch?
