Hi, got a very severe problem. I have two hard drives in my RS server and I am getting the secondary drive removed. Here's the problem. After the secondary drive is removed, the server fails to bootup completely, crashing at fsck. The server boots up fine when the secondary drive is put back in however. Has anyone ever encountered this problem before? Could the problem be to references to

Hello all, I know this question is (strictly speaking) off topic, but if someone could at least point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful. I have an older system (RH 6.2, overdue for upgrade) with an ext2 partition that was pushing 99% filled. I did some space recovery and I have it down to around 90% utilization now. I have rebooted the unit, and brought it up single-user

Does anyone know of any Linux-based filesystem that does file-level auditing and logs based on username? Does ext2/3 do such auditing (stock or with patches)? I would like a filesystem that can be told to audit and log file deletions and log the username that deleted the file (similar to auditing on NTFS). I know, I should be using file permissions to prevent this type of deletion from

Hi! Today I switched over to devfs. I'm on Debian unstable, installed devfsd, installed a kernel with devfs support and "devfs mount on boot". Reboot, devfs is being used. All over a sudden, dmesg reports: Linux version 2.4.21-ac1 (root@hummus) (gcc version 3.3 (Debian)) #1 Sun Jun 15 19:06:13 CEST 2003 ... kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted

Folks: Is there a limit to the number of arguments that can be passed to fileutils programs such as mv or rm ? If yes, is it filesystem dependant/kernel config dependant/fileutils version dependant? Can this maximum limit be tuned/controlled ? I googled on it a bit, but couldn't find anything much more relevant than a message in the OS-X forum.

I can not start my laptop anymore, due to what looks like a physical HD failure. During boot I get: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { Uncorrectable Error }, LBAsect=260112, sector 51144 and then JBD: Failed to read block at offset 5864 JBD: recovery failed EXT3-fs: error loading journal then the laptop is frozen. While I understand this drive will need a prompt replacement, I am trying to recover

Hi All, I had to reboot a machine as I lost the ssh connectivity to it. I could ping to it though. On rebooting, the dmesg buffer showed the following messsage hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, CHS=7520/0/155, sector=1820440 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:02 (hdc), sector 1820440 hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady

Gday, Is there any way i can convert a FAT32 filesystem to an EXT3? From what ive read so far, there is not. -- Rene

I have gotten the 2.4.13 kernel and the 2.4.13 ext3 patch. Unfortunately, it appears that some lines are wrapped, meaning that the long lines are actually on two lines, which throws the entire patching process off. Right now, my only recourse is to go through and manually fix the problem, which will take awhile, since there are more than 17000 lines of code! Is the problem on my end, or on the

Forgive my novice question, but I am a new student of Linux working on presenting the ext3 journaling filesystem to my class. I seek any advice on how to visibly demonstrate (including a purposeful crash of a Linux box) the benefits of ext3 over ext2. I am not worthy to lick the bootstraps of this group, but I beg for any help! The problem I am having extends to even locating the .journal file

Hi, I'm looking over the Wine documentation, and it says that the particular version that looks like it will work with my version of RedHat 7.1 will only work if the glibcc is 2.2 or above. How do I tell? I"m a newbie and not sure exactly what the glibcc is. TIA

Hi... I am new to Linux (a few days), and I can't get to boot with a new compiled kernel (2.4.17). I wonder if any one has a copy of a successful config file? I get errors with regard to the number of cpu's, ext3, journaling, and others... For now I am (naively) assuming that I have a problem with a combination of settings in the config file.) Regards... Miguel. -- --- my opinions

Can anyone tell me if there has been testing of using an SMP kernel on a UP machine and if that is bad? I have an ext3 filesystem that keeps getting corrupt. Certain directories only get I/O errors, trying to access beyond the end of the device. Thanks, Gabe
