Hi, We have recently switched from XFS to ext3 do to various corruption scenarios that were witnessed. Does ext3 have something like xfs_growfs for growing the FS to the end of the underlying partition? Thanks, Menny

Hi, I try to convert my RedHat 7.3. partitions from ext3 to ext2. I have found a thread dealing with this issue. Thus: "tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/foo" and "e2fsck /dev/foo" will do the magic! This works fine for "/boot" but when I try to convert "/" my kernel panics? The kernel panics message appears shortly after the attempt to startup kjournald. How

I accidentally removed an ext3 partition from the partition table. I know roughly where it started. Is there any way of finding the superblock and reconstructing it? TIA, Dave (Yes I have a backup of the important stuff!)

I'm getting ready to add some memory to a server running RH7.3 with ext3. I'm going to need to add more space to the swap partition and so I'll also need to resize an ext3 partition. I've seen some posts by searching the list that the resize2fs should work fine, but the man pages don't mention anything about ext3. Version is: resize2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Has anyone actually

Hi, I get the error "Operation not permitted" when I try to delete a file as root, see some commands below. - there is no "i" attribute - it's a problem with the files and not the upper directories since I can delete a similar file in the same directory - fsck -f doesn't find any error on the partition - the partition is mounted rw If this is not the right place to

I tried it on loop. 1. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test -t ext3 2. cp files to 100% full 3. umount /mnt/test 4. fsck.ext3 -f /dev/loop0 Inode xxxxx, i_blocks is xxx, should be yyy. Fix?

I am trying to use data=journal on my root file system. I have separate slices on which journal=data works fine on all of them, except root. I have tried putting rootflags=journal=data on my kernel line in Grub, but I get a kernel panic. I'm missing something simple, I jut know it. It can't be the kernel version because it works on the other slices. My etc/fstab file is as follows:

I have a few settings that change based on the network that a system is in, and I have a heterogeneous collection of networks (a few /24s, some /25s, a /29 and a couple /27s, and hey look a /16 in rfc1918 space and...). So I can''t do simple regex matches on dotted-quad IP notation and expect to get a complete story. What I''d like is something like, I dunno... $nameserver =

I've been running RH 72 on my Dell at work. Since I use more than one system and I test things, I forgot that I had the root partition as ext3. That machine has two kernels on it. One is the stock 2.4.7 RH 72 and the other is the new 2.4.17 that I compiled last week. This morning I logged in and typed startx. The kernel responed by coughing up a lung and segfaulted. Couldn't run any

Ah, Mondays. The following oops happened after approximately eleven days of uptime. The machine was not under any particular load at the time. Following a forced reboot, all filesystems replayed the journal successfully. Relevant log entries leading up to the oops: Nov 4 04:54:08 localhost kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Nov 4 04:54:08 localhost kernel: 03:02: rw=1,

Hi there, I am very new in linux and met the filesystem problem as described in the following, I tried to use 'fsck' and tried to find some support documents but failed. Your hints and helps are very appreciated.

I was tinkering with Asterisk and the Festival text-to-speech engine, and wrote some short Asterisk::AGI scripts to read back live weather reports. After that, I thought I needed something more interactive to work with... Then I had a flashback to 1996, first year university, standing in the C & O club at the University of Waterloo, where someone had just pulled out their US Robotics Palm

http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/05/play_zork_by_phone.html Let me preface this idea with one comment: I don't have the time to do this - I don't even have time to eat these days. But someone out there has the cycles to do this... and it would be very cool. OK, so now Zork is attached to Asterisk, but using the less-than-clear Festival engine. There are beta tests of the LumenVox

Hello All, Well my Samba server is up and running good, but I am now needing to be able to let some of my users connect to our server who is not located on our local network. Actually they are located some distance away and I would like to be able to allow then to connect. Has anyone had any success with this and how it might be done? Best Regards, Lonnie -- Lonnie Cumberland OutStep

Hello All, I hope that you are all doing well. I have been trying to get Samba setup and running on my Redhat 7.2 box so that users on Windows machines can login and be connected to their directory. The problem is that no matter what I try, I can see the Samba server from the Windows machine, but it keeps telling me that the password was not recognized and is the same linux password for each

Hello All, I am new to using wine on my Linux redhat 7.2 so please forgive the dumb questions, ok. I have been able to run a few of my Windows Applications from wine as a test, but ran into problems when I wanted to try a test and install OpenOffice 641c. I am getting messages like: ---------------------------------------------------------------- bash-2.05$ wine c:\\install\\setup Warning:

Hello All, Could someone please tell me if there is a was to use smbadduser in a non-interactive mode and just allow you to enter all of the particular user information on the command line? I need to set up a small script that will automate adding users to the smbpasswd file so that they can login. Cheers, Lonnie -- Lonnie Cumberland OutStep Technologies Incorporated EMAIL:

Although RAW sockets can be used when specifying the source address of packets (defeating one of the aspects of the jail) some people may find it usefull to use utilities like ping(8) or traceroute(8) from inside jails. Enclosed is a patch I have written which gives you the option of allowing prison-root to create raw sockets inside the prison, so
