similar to: Root filesystem on ext2

Dear All, Can somebody help me on the following issue: When I mount the SCSI device on storage with ext3 filesystem & perform cp in loop, it becomes readonly. The steps to reproduce the issue are: 1)Create a ext3 file system on HDLM device mkfs ?t ext3 /dev/sdn 2)Mount the device Mount /dev/sddlmaa /home/<dir. name> 3)Execute cp ?f command in a loop on mounted device.

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having problems similar to what many people are facing on this list. I have done everything as the emails suggest. I am using SuSE 7.3 with the the 2.4.10 kernel and ext3 compiled as a module. Because it is 2.4.10 kernel, I created all my journals from a rescue disk and everything seems to be working right for the non-root filesystems. My fstab has all my

I have ext2 compiled in the kernel (so i can mount the initrd image), all other filesystems are modules. The initrd image contains aic7xxx, jbd, and ext3 modules. /etc/mtab reports the filesystem mounted ext3 /proc/mounts reports it mounted ext2 /proc/filesystems lists ext3 If I umount other partitions that are ext3 the module becomes 'unused'. The filesystem was created

This is most exceedingly weird boot/shutdown sequence that I used once, and can't find a way to adapt to initramfs. Since you guys are trying to adapt all mechanisms that use initrd to using initramfs, this should interest you. initrd has (all binaries static): /bin: init halt mount poweroff pivot_root reboot sh umount /etc: fstab haltrc /dev: null zero tty tty0 tty1 console->tty0 hda1

Hi, I've downloaded and installed kernel-2.4.9 from rawhide in order to use ext3 support (I've also upgraded the necessary packages). I've used tune2fs to make the current ext2 partitions (incluind /) and changed fstab to reflect that. In order to test if everything is ok (this is a test machine) I've switched off with no shutdown. Except the / all other partitions accused

I have the same problem on the install disks and on the Live CD: The computer locks as soon as the Xserver starts. I end up with a blank screen (color varies) with a moving mouse cursor. Nothing else. Nothing appears on the screen. Keyboard and mouse are inoperative. Even Alt-SysRq-R doesn't work. Only way out is the reset button (or maybe SSH, but I don't have another machine handy

hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles

Alex, I'm trying to think through how binding/unbinding of devices will work with VFIO for platform devices and have a couple of questions about how vfio-pci works. When you bind a device to vfio-pci, e.g.: # echo 1102 0002 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id ...I understand that the echo into 'new_id' tells the vfio pci driver that it now handles the specified PCI ID. But

Hi I am trying to have a built in initramfs along with the traditional initrd. So I mount the initrd from the initramfs, but am facing problems in trying to run the 'linuxrc'. Following are the issues: 1. I mount the initrd from the initramfs and exceve 'linuxrc'. It starts executing linuxrc, but gives the following errors and panics: Red hat nash version 3.4.42 starting

Hello, When I upgrade syslinux from 2.13 to 3.02. my linux floppy doesn't boot anymore. steps: dd if=/dev/zero of=fdimg bs=18k count=160 mkdosfs fdimg syslinux fdimg mount -o loop fdimg /mnt cp files/* /mnt/ umount /mnt then use memdisk load fdimg the files includes: vmlinuz initrd syslinux.cfg message.txt f1.txt ... it only prompts 1 line: SYSLINUX 3.02

I converted my lvm root initrd to an initramfs by putting glibc, lvm, pivot_root, my linuxrc, etc. in my initramfs source file. I use ash compiled against klibc to run my linuxrc Unfortunately - pivot_root . initrd - complains - pivot_root: Invalid argument I suspect this may be because you can't pivot_root using a cpio initramfs root? If so, what should I do instead? Should I

Hi, I want to customize initrd so that I can run my application once vmlinuz loads initrd. (similar to dos booting - dos runs autoexec.bat) I copied vmlinuz & initrd from RHEL4 ISO. Mounted initrd renamed 'linuxrc' exe to linuxrc1 created new script linuxrc called linuxrc1 from linuxrc script called my application from linuxrc script. But I receive "kernel panic" error:

Hello again, I'm always not able to boot-up my CF-FileSystem. (It works with a 2.4.x Kernel!) See: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-June/006942.html I dont't understand, why the kernel can't mount the root-fs on exit of "linuxrc". Before finising "linuxrc" I can work on it, start a "bash"-shell, do all sorts of linux-cmds on the root-fs...

Hi, I'm trying to run smbmount on a machine with the root filesystem mounted as read only (it is a little embedded Linux PC which I want to pick up some files from its controlling NT box). The problem is that smbmnt doesn't appear to support the -n flag that normal mount supports which avoids accessing /etc/mtab. Can any one suggest any solutions to this ? Dave

Dear Ted, I upgraded e2fsprogs and util-linux to the latest versions, as per the instructions on the "ext3 for 2.4" page, to make the switching between ext2-only and ext3-enabled kernels seamless. Now that if the filesystems have not been unmounted cleanly, due to a power failure for example, "fsck -A -a" cannot continue after checking the root filesystem on reboot, issuing
