similar to: RedHat changes to remove file system support

I'm trying to add XFS and ReiserFS to CentOS, integrating with Kickstart. I think I'm fairly close. I've added xfs.ko and reiserfs.ko to modules.cgz in initrd. Several of my partitions now specify --fstype=xfs. I can see tty5 mkfs.xfs is creating the XFS file systems. The system currently installs completely via kickstart, but it does not mount the XFS file systems while in the

I've read in many places that file systems on Linux do not suffer the same fragmentation problems of Windows systems. No one has provided a clear explanation as to why fragmentation is not an issue for file systems such as ext2/3, reiserfs, xfs, etc. Just curious.

RedHat has stripped out support for ReiserFS in their enterprise Linux products. It appears the unsupported CentOS kernel supports ReiserFS. Doesn't anaconda and the kickstart boot kernel also need to be enhanced to support ReiserFS as well? thanks for any help.

Hello, how can install my CentOS 4.3 under Reiserfs from install? (clean install) I have to download the kernel from centosplus and integrate to my dvd and mofidy some things on anaconda or something? I hace already googled about this but some answers are too crazy than I'm get scared! I was thinking something like this: Format my S-ATA with other distro who support Resiserfs and when

Dear Listmembers, I try to work with samba (newest rpm for SuSE, 3.0.1.pre2, but that does not matter, the effect was there in 2.2.7 and 2.2.8a too) on an sufficient armed system (the system does not matter either, I have tried it on different machines) using ReiserFS (version 3.6.4-12). When accessing one share from one machine (i.e. copying two or more files at a time to or from the share)

Hello All, I have been doing some research to find a method to increase the performance of writes to the hard drives in my servers. I am running Samba and all writes to the server hard drives are taking at least 3 to 10 times (It varies) the amount of time it took to write such files on our older Windows NT 4.0 File Server. The following information is provided to keep this issue on track...

Hello, Is there a preferred file system (ext4, xfs, reiserfs, etc.) for hosting Samba shares used by Windows clients? What do the devs use? Chris

hi i got 2 questions and maybe someone could shed some light: a) i'm using kernel 2.4.17 and use ext3 in it. is it possible that the whole system is slower than with ext2? i switched back to ext2 (great feature!!!) and the system's response seemed somewhat better. should/could there be such a effect as double writing of journaled data? i didnt activate debugging (jbd). b) is reiserfs

Hi there, I installed my mandrake linux 8.1 with reiserfs. I would like to use wine without my windows partition. Now I see the following text in the wine man-page: --- format: Filesystem=<fstype> default: "win95" Used to specify the type of the file system Wine should emulate on a given directory structure/underlying file system. Supported types are "msdos" (or

I'm trying to kickstart a Centos 4.1 system with the minimum set of packages. I have no use for ypbind so I'm trying to prevent from being installed, but kickstart/anaconda always insist on its installation (complaining that the package is missing). This is the %packages section of my ks file so far: %packages #-@ dialup kernel grub e2fsprogs lvm2 -slocate -bluez-utils -bluez-bluefw

Hi, I tried to compile the 2.6.9-22.EL kernel with reiserfs enabled. make fails as follows. anyone managed to compile with reiserfs successfully?

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

In CentOS 4.1/2, what package contains this library: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3? I installed a couple of the compat- packages, but this library is still missing.

I'm trying to kicktart a CentOS 4.3 x86_64. However, anaconda is unabled to do dhcp, complaining about"no DHCP reply received". While tailing the log on the dhcp server, I clearly see a request come in and address is offered. This same machine kicks fine with CentOS 4.1 (32-bit). Since anaconda could potentially use a different NIC (this system contains 2 NICSs), I've tried

I think I have this one solved, I hope. I think what Andreas and I are running into are a few different assertions. One being the LVM lvm_do_pv_flush caused assertion which is related directly to invalidate_buffers() being called which then triggers refile_buffer() on a journaled buffer, which appears clean in all other ways according to the checks in refile_buffer(). The following is what

I read that XFS has problems with 4K Stack size for Linux on 32-bit systems. How did we address this in the centosplus kernel? Since what release of CentOS was this problem resolved? Is there a quick way to know what size the Linux stack is configured to be in a system's that's running?
