similar to: EXT2FS lib ported to syslinux

Here is the initial release: git://github.com/donhiatt/Syslinux-EXT2FS-Library-port.git I am very new to git so I hope I managed to get the repo setup properly. The repo is branched from 'disklib' as I plan to use it for all disk read/write access (I'm currently using modified gpllib/disk/* -- see README). Cheers, don ----- README for ext2fs module. * Description -----------

Situation: two similar servers, both with CentOS 5.4 64-bit. Making an ext3 filesystem on one takes seconds, on the other minutes. Partition Size Server 1 Server 2 1 GB 0.7 sec 0.3 sec 4 GB 2.5 sec 1.2 sec 40 GB 15 sec 13 min WTF e2fsprogs RPM is e2fsprogs-1.39-23.el5 on both systems mkfs --version reports

Is there a known problem with fopen and/or fwrite in Syslinux? I'm trying to open a file to write data to but fopen( file_name, "w+" ) fails everytime. fopen( file_name, "r" ) works just fine.

Hi, I moved a disk with ext2fs from a Linux box (SuSE) into my FreeBSD6.2 box. Some directories on that disk are shared to my Windows boxes via v3.0.26a (according to smbd -V). A couple of directories contain a large number of files (hundreds to thousands). The list of files is incomplete using Windows clients or smbclient on FreeBSD. If I copy the directories to a disk using ufs, the file

Hello, I have a question about device number extension in "e2fsprogs-1.35". In Linux kernel 2.6, device number is extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature in kernel 2.6. Following operation defines type "kdev_t" as "unsigned short" type, thus the device number has only 16-bit. In file

I'm happy to announce the release of e2fsprogs 1.42. You can download the tarball from here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-1.42.tar.gz Or you can download it from the git repository on git.kernel.org. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git. Or, you can wait for your favorite distribution to package it. :-) The release notes are attached

Hey guys, I can't seem to figure out how to debug a COM32 app with GDB under qemu. I start "qemu -s" and then "gdb hello.elf ; target remote:1234" but can't set any breakpoints that work. I"m using syslinux4 (pathbased from the repo). Can anyone verify that they can use qemu+com32+gdb with something as simple as com32/samples/hello.c32 ? Also, is it

I'm trying to run e2fsck on a ~6TB filesystem which is about 90% full. We're doing backup to disk to this filesystem, and have a number of hard links (link counts up to 90). strace shows: write(1, "Pass 2: Checking ", 17) = 17 write(1, "directory", 9) = 9 write(1, " structure\n", 11) = 11 mmap(NULL, 91574272,

Hi all I am having some trouble using the ext2online utility, I have reduced the problem down to its simplist form, and it goes soemthing like this: Start with a regular msdos labelled disk (I have tried lvm volumes): Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 18.3 GB, 18351967232 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17501 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Device Boot

Hi there.. I'm another ext3 newbie and I have patched and installed 2.4.12-ac1, and compiled from source the above utils.. I saw a link a while back for rpms for these, and I was wondering if anybody knew the url... Also, the question everybody wants to know I think - Does anybody have any idea when the ext3 code will enter the stable kernel tree (not -ac)? I am assuming RH might wait for

A while back, I submitted a patch for PR kern/124621, which allows the mounting of an ext2(3) filesystem created with an inode size other than 128. The e2fsprogs' default is now 256, so file systems created on newer Linux distributions or with the port will not be mountable. I was hopeful this would get committed in time for 7.1-RELEASE (and 6.4-RELEASE), however the PR remains open. If

When making the "unstable" version I got an in "tools". There was a complaint about "cc.has_function" in the following code area in tools/pygrub/setup.py if cc.has_function("ext2fs_open"): ext2defines.append( ("HAVE_EXT2FS_OPEN2", None) ) else : sys.stderr.write ("Warning: older veriosn of e2fsprogs installed ...")

I installed CentOS on my home-server with 2 IDE 160GB MAXTOR HDD / RAID-1, LVM and ext3 partitions. Previous OS on this machine was FC2. I often "play" with LVM and, sometimes, have to extand or reduce some volumes size. I was surprised to see that resize2fs isn''t included anymore ! The replacing tool is ext2online but this one seems to only be able to grow a filesystem (not

Could someone tell me what could be causing this failure on my system and a way to get around/fix it? Your help is very much appreciated. I'd just finished running lvm lvextend. "lvextend -L+L1G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00", after adding a new 1G partition (/dev/sda4) to /dev/VolGroup00. [root at ppstest13 ~]# ext2online -d -v /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ext2online v1.1.18 -

Hello, As a Virtuozzo users we have majority of our diskspace formatted with -i 1024 -b 1024. Lately I discovered that on CentOS 4.6 ext2online barfs when I try to grow such filesystem. Running it with -v -d, it prints lots of lines like: ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b ext2online: 873646830 is a bad size for an ext2 fs! rounding down to 873644033 ... group NNN inode table has

Wow, it takes a really long time to make a 2TB ext2fs.

Hi, I noticed that mount_ext2 isn't "connected" to the normal "buildworld" but sys/*/ext2fs seems to. Building and using it from recent RELENG_7 sources works for me (having ext2fs loaded as module in GENERIC). I mounted an ext3 rw, edited grub's menu.lst, wrote and umounted without any problems. It seems recent bugs got pathched in January

Check early that there are enough free blocks to store each file, erroring out with ENOSPC if not; this avoids slightly more obscure errors later on. --- src/ext2fs-c.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/ext2fs-c.c b/src/ext2fs-c.c index f01ca9d..e45980a 100644 --- a/src/ext2fs-c.c +++ b/src/ext2fs-c.c @@ -52,6 +52,9 @@ /* fts.h in glibc is broken,
