similar to: Caveats to mounting ext3 as ext2?

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

Maybe I should've started a new thread with this question (it was in the /proc/sys/vm/bdflush thread), so I am now :) According to tests performed for this article: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs8/ "ext3's data=journal mode is incredibly well-suited to situations where data needs to be read from and written to disk at the same time." This is the

Everyone, We just had a pretty bad crash on one of production boxes and the ext2 filesystem on the data partition of our box had some major filesystem corruption. Needless to say, I am now looking into converting the filesystem to ext3 and I have some questions regarding ext3 and Linux software RAID. I have read that previously there were some issues running ext3 on a software raid device

Hi guys'n'girls, I think my question is : How can I tell a redhat 2.4.x kernel (via grub or LILO command-line parameters) that the root filesystem is ext2 and not ext3 ? I thought it would just look in /etc/fstab, but presumably it needs to know what fstype the root is before mounting it; the words 'chicken' and egg' spring to mind. Or does some initrd jggerypokery go on?

I need to find out what the maximum file size in an ext2/3 file system. It appears from the definition of the ext2_inode structure that since the i_size field is a 32 bit integer that the file would be limited by that. Thanks, Jason

Hi everybody! I'm using LVM and ext3 and am very satisfied with it. But now I have the following problem: I have a filesystem on a LV which is in use - files are created, modified and so on. To do a backup I'd like to create a snapshot of this volume which gets backup'd and then dropped. # lvcreate -s -L 20M -n snapshot /dev/vg/data lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be

Hi list, Well I really didn't want to see things get to this point, but Sherman at Sipura along with their President Jan F. leave me no other choice. SIPURA has been provided a letter from our attorney for Breach of Contract and damages. They have yet to respond. A quick background. 1. Sherman (SIPURA's Director of Marketing), stated that we would do a join press release for the Oct

hi all, I intend to write a snapshot module for Ext2/3 file-systems. For that i need to make sure that FS is in consistent state before taking snapshot. For ex. in case of UFS, the superblock has a fs_clean flag which is set to be FSSTABLE to tell that its in consistent state. (otherwise its set to FSACTIVE) I m not able to find any such information for Ext2/Ext3. (The

Hi. I'm using Debian. Is this a Redhat-only list, or is it only hosted by RedHat? I recently changed my filing systems over to ext3, but deliberately left the forced boot check parameters alone so my system checks after 20 mounts. I notice that the fsck takes a good ten times longer than under ext2, to perform the cleanly unmounted check. (On the occasion where I did unmount dirtily, the

I know this is a FAQ and that it''s been discussed much before, I''m just looking for a few key things. I need to setup our gateway so that traffic FROM a range of IPs is sent out, masqueraded, via a new cable connection. I''m running 2.6.9. Am I going to require any of the CONNMARK patches or other patches from http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes? I''m really not sure

Hey guys, Having a little gpg issue I was wondering if someone could help me with. A friend of mine sent me an encrypted message. So I searched online and found a a set of keys that correspond with his email address. And imported them. But when I go to decrypt the message, this is what I get: [root at ops:~] #gpg --decrypt roger-message gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 9617EA5C,

Hi, I have installed Red Hat Linux 7.3 with ext2 file system and I have multiple partition. I converted them to ext3 using following command. tune2fs -j -i 0 /dev/hdaX And I modified /etc/fstab as below. LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts

Hello, I'd like to read superblock's information on Redhat 7.3, but I don't know how to do it. For example, Input : "/dev/sdj2" Output : ext2_super_block struct's s_wtime (I saw it at "/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_fs.h") Input : "/dev/sdj1" Output : ext3_super_block struct's s_wtime (I saw it at

Hi, I want to change my running software raid1 from ext2 to ext3. I'am currently running RH 7.1 with 2.4.18. The raid constist of two 40GB disks on a seperate UDMA Controller (HPT370). The system is installed on another disk. Can I just use tune2fs -j /dev/md0, or do need to rebuild the raid from scratch with ext3? Many thanks for your help! Regards, Ingo

I'm using the ext3-patched version of Linux 2.4.13 (the patch from Andrew Morton's UOW site). I compiled both ext3 and ext2 into the kernel. I've also done "tune2fs -j /dev/hda3" and changed /etc/fstab to ext3. However, when I boot up, the filesystem still gets mounted as ext2. I've been trying to figure out why for many days now.. any ideas? Here's my setup:

Hi there, I tried to setup my linux box with an ext3 root file system. That failed because of wrong initrd settings. Sorry. Now the filesystem is marked having a journal but there is no /.journal file anyway. I tried to buikd that journal by hand (tune2fs -j /dev/hda3 - in my case). That fails also. :-( /sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/hda3 says: ... Journal UUID: <none> Journal

I've got two data.frames and, when certain "keys" match, I would like to add the column values from one data frame to the other data.frame. Below I list the two data.frames, i.e. neighborhoodInfo_df, and schoolZone_df. Based on the "address" key I would like to add the "schoolZone" key to the neighborhoodInfo_df data.frame. By any chance is there an R
