Hi, I need to mount a UFS (Unix File System) partition from an external device (ie, live cd). I've seen the kernel-2.6.x-x.x.x.xxx.plus.c4 has UFS support and I've several questions about: ?How I know what FS are supported by my kernel? ?Is CentOS LiveCD edition builded with UFS support? ?Is there another way to get UFS support without the complete installation of a new kernel? Thanks.

All, There have been many requests for added kernel features that the upstream provider left out of the standard kernel. (ReiserFS, Video4Linux, Firewire support, XFS, NTFS, JFS, etc.). We want the main release CDs to contain a standard kernel for compatibility and stability reasons. CentOS is created as a clone, and it needs to be as close as possible to the upstream distro. That being said,

Hi, I need to setup a new mail server and before I got my feet wet or losing in the configurations jungle, I really need some advice from the gurus here for what the best software to used for the mailserver base on CentOS 4.x setup. The objective is, the mailserver will be easy to setup, maintained and have some 1. database backend for storing user info ( mysql? ) 2. spam and antivirus

Hello, I'm running centos5 with the centosplus kernel v2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 and i'm trying to read a drive that has a ufs2 partition on it. It was originally in a FreeBSD machine and has some data i'd like to get at. Googling indicated this should work with the command: mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 <device> <mountpoint> device is /dev/hdb5 and mountpoint is /mnt.

Hi, I'm still new in linux world and CentOS is my 2nd linux desktop I ever used ( have used it for month now, before using Ubuntu for 2 days ), so please gave me a little favor on it :) What I need to do is to have my virtual console that can also run gnome or kde, so I can have different windows on different virtual console. After googling, I found the qingy that just fit for my need. I

Hi Dears, I am having trouble mounting a partition with UFS file system (FreeBSD), I am trying to build with the following commands: mount-r-t-o ufs ufstype = ufs2 / dev/hdb1 / part mount-r-t-o ufs ufstype = 44bsd / dev/hdb1 / part But appears the following error message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on / dev/hdb1, missing codepage or other error In some

I have a test cluster running HA-NFS that shares both ufs and zfs based file systems. However, the behavior that I am seeing is a little perplexing. The Setup: I have Sun Cluster 3.2 on a pair of SunBlade 1000''s connecting to two T3B partner groups through a QLogic switch. All four bricks of the T3B are configured as RAID-5 with a hot spare. One brick from each pair is mirrored with VxVM

Hi, Can anyone point me on howto use fsck to marking the bad block so it won't be use to store a file? I have one hdd with the bad block running on one of my server with this problem. While I rebuild a new server to replace the hdd, I really like to have a temporary solutions for that. Thanks in advances, regards, ijez -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi, I''m preparing a personal TPC-H benchmark. The goal is not to measure or optimize the database performance, but to compare ZFS to UFS in similar configurations. At the moment I''m preparing the tests at home. The test setup is as follows: . Solaris snv_37 . 2 x AMD Opteron 252 . 4 GB RAM . 2 x 80 GB ST380817AS . Oracle 10gR2 (small SGA (320m)) The disks also contain the OS

I had some trouble installing a zone on ZFS with S10u4 (bug in the postgres packages) that went away when I used a ZVOL-backed UFS filesystem for the zonepath. I thought I''d push on with the experiment (in the hope Live Upgrade would be able to upgrade such a zone). It''s a bit unwieldy, but everything worked reasonably well - performance isn''t much worse than straight

hi all Try to learn how UFS root to ZFS root liveUG work. I download the vbox image of s10u8, it come up as UFS root. add a new disks (16GB) create zpool rpool run lucreate -n zfsroot -p rpool run luactivate zfsroot run lustatus it do show zfsroot will be active in next boot init 6 but it come up with UFS root, lustatus show ufsroot active zpool rpool is mounted but not used by boot Is this a

I have a Solaris 10 U5 system massively patched so that it supports ZFS pool version 15 (similar to U8, kernel Generic_141445-09), live upgrade components have been updated to Solaris 10 U8 versions from the DVD, and GRUB has been updated to support redundant menus across the UFS boot environments. I have studied the Solaris 10 Live Upgrade manual (821-0438) and am unable to find any

Is r/w to a UFS partition using 'guestmount' still an impossibility? From everything I've found, it seems to be something that is not possible at the moment. I was just wondering if that has changed or if there are plans to change that? Here is the issue I'm experiencing: ~# guestmount --rw -a ${disk_path}/${disk_name} -m /dev/sda4 /tmp/freebsd-master libguestfs: error:

Hi all! First off, if this has been discussed, please point me in that direction. I have searched high and low and really can''t find much info on the subject. We have a large-ish (200gb) UFS file system on a Sun Enterprise 250 that is being shared with samba (lots of files, mostly random IO). OS is Solaris 10u3. Disk set is 7x36gb 10k scsi, 4 internal 3 external. For several

There is a confusion about the name of this file system, then I decided to contact the author (Kirk McKusick) who replied: "The name has always been confusing (my bad). The code is broken into two parts, the part that handles naming (UFS where the U stands for Unix), and the part that handles disk layout (FFS where the F stands for Fast). When the two parts are put together they are called

There seems to be an inconsistency between release 4.9-RC and 5.1 ufs support. If I fsck the same ufs (type 1 of course) file system on both releases, each claims that the other has left incorrect summary data in the superblock. Presumably only one can be correct. I just don't know which to blame. I couldn't find a FreeBSD problem report about bad summary data. I will submit one, but

Hello Gurus, Greetings. I have been assigned some work on the development of a migration tool. The requirement is that it has to migrate the data on a UFS/VxFs filesystem to an ext2 filesystem. What are the technical apects I will have to look into to achieve the same? Is it possible to change the on-disk structure of the UFS/VxFs filesystem to an ext2 filesystem? The question may

As part of looking into a minor issue with the group listed when using runat(1) on a UFS filesystem for Johannes (my Google Summer of Code student work on new basic file privs), I discovered an even bigger issue with UFS and extended attributes. I''ve cc''d ZFS discuss because I used ZFS as the comparison and I believe that ZFS is acting correctly but even then it might not be

I see the new kernel available in the plus repository... is there some way to view what the differences are between that and the mainline kernel?

This simple patch adds support for the BSD "growfs" command, so you can grow BSD filesystems [in theory -- see below]. It also adds a new optional group called "ufsutils" which indicates if the libguestfs API supports the guestfs_ufs_growfs call, since it's not available on Fedora. (http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#availability) I tested this on Debian, and although
