Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will remove the repo when these patches are reviewed). Please f...

Hi Ady, Thank you very much, I prefer this one, add the extN support to linux/syslinux-nomtools, create a new "e2fs/syslinux" may make things more complicated for the user, I will make it as: 1) If it is a extN device, then root privilege is not required. 2) Otherwise work as before. Any suggestions is appreciated. // Robert > > _ An installer capable of writing to extN-formatted "devices&quo...

Sounds good to me, e2fs/syslinux is more easier to maintain, I'd like to add an e2fs/syslinux if possible. // Robert > > TIA, > Ady. > >

...an external journal device. The filesystem in question was working fine until the server was rebooted. This is what we see on dmesg when trying to mount: EXT3: failed to claim external journal device. The external journal lives on a LVM2 logical volume and it seems to be accessible ( we can dumpe2fs and see filesystem information). Here's the system information and command line used to create the filesystem : SuSE SLES9 2 , kernel 2.6.5 ada718-5:/ # rpm -qa | grep e2fs e2fsprogs-1.36-6.2 ----------------------------------------- mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/mapper/home_jou_vol_grp-home_j...

...one". _ An installer capable of writing to extN-formatted "devices" while requiring less permissions (i.e. unprivileged write permissions only) would seemingly mean an equivalent to the current 'mtools/syslinux' installer, but for extN. Perhaps this would mean a new "e2fs/syslinux" installer? (Note that I don't mention the "libext2fs" term here, as it is "too-long" and some distros might use a slightly-different (package) name for the same library/capability/support/tool). This would also maintain current documentation and so-called...

...h trying to make any compressed initrd.gz >32 meg work with pxelinux. I am using "atftpd" as the server, with --no-blksize specified to disable the blksize command. The symptons are anything ranging from a failure to uncompress the ram drive to file system consistency failures on the e2fs formated ramdrive. We're looking at the thought of net booting all of our servers and running the OS completely off the ram disk :-) However, to do that, for what we want, we need to bloat that initrd.gz to about 45 meg, if we're gonna go this route. Thanks for any pointers... -- -- J...

Hello, I have a problem with a 2.5.62 kernel and ramdisk. I am using isolinux to create a cd that loads some of its partition in ramdisk. The script involves mounting a ramdisk (e2fs) on /fake/ramdisk, copying part of the cd to that mount point, unmounting it, and remounting it on /fake/needwrite. The problem is that, although the content of /fake/needwrite gets correctly copied, the content of the ramdisk after its been remounted on /fake/needwrite is empty. This problem does...

hi I have made ext3 from ext2 by using mkfs -j option. I want to know if all commands of ext2 like dumpe2fs ( provided in e2fs-1.36 ) works fine with ext3 ? Do we have some commands that are unique for ext3 file system ? ____________________________________________ Salvy HCL Technologies Ltd A-11, Sector 16 Noida, U.P., India Ph: 91-9811250247 salilt@noida.hcltech.com <mailto:salilt@noida.hcl...

Hi Guys, When I try to create an ext3 journal on a new fs, I receive the following error. This is all under Kernel v2.4.17 and e2fs tools v1.25: File size limit exceeded Running e2fsck on it afterwords gives: e2fsck -y /dev/sdc1 e2fsck 1.25 (20-Sep-2001) Superblock has a bad ext3 journal (inode 8). Clear? yes *** ext3 journal has been deleted - filesystem is now ext2 only *** Superblock doesn't have has_journal flag, b...
