similar to: Recover Partition

Recently (and for ages, I'm sure) folks have suffered partition destruction and had to try and recover. In the recent thread, the victim eventually had to resort to Google and fond some package that I can not remember now. Well, I was perusing my YumInfo.lst.05, for general info, and I discovered this (potential) little gem. Thought I would pass it on and make it "more googleable"

Hi all, I've been working with the ext3-fs for several months (since 0.0.2c), and it works pretty fine for me, but I haven't found out, how I works to migrate my root-partition from ext2 to ext3. I tried it with the commands at the lilo-prompt, but it didn't work. I only received a kernel panic. Any ideas, how I can migrate to ext3 on my root-partition? tnx, Joachim -- Joachim

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I don't know if this is the right list, but here goes what happened recently to me.

This is CentOS-6x. I have cloned the HDD of a CentOS-6 system. I booted a host with that drive and received the following error: checking filesystems /dev/mapper/vg_voinet01-lv_root: clean, 128491/4096000 files, 1554114/16304000 blocks /dev/sda1: clean, 47/120016 files, 80115/512000 blocks /dev/mapper/vg_voinet01-lv_home: clean, 7429/204800 files, 90039/819200 blocks

I have rebuilt my kernel 2.4.10 for ext3, converted all my partitions and hard coded them in my fstab to ext3. when I type "df -t ext2", none of my partitions show up. when I type "df -t ext3", all my partitions show up. Everything seems to work fine. except upon a recovery...my system runs fsck and seems to do a ext2 recovery, which takes some 15-20 minutes. any ideas?

Hi, I have configured two machines for testing gfs filesystems. They are attached to a iscsi device and centos versions are: CentOS release 5.4 (Final) Linux node1.fib.upc.es 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:33:56 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The problem is if I try to mount a gfs partition it hangs.

Hi, I''ve had several people ask me about a comment I made in a previous post; <quote> Dan, firstly, if you haven''t touched the compromised system much, do a "dd" across the raw disk and grep it for log fragments. I have seen vital erased logs recovered this way before! </quote> I shall try and explain a bit more! If an attacker erases, or truncates a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [Please CC me on answers, I'm not subscribed] Hi everyone, I have got a hard disk which was damaged by a fall and would like to recover a few files from that. (There is a backup for most of the data, but a handful of recent files are missing. These are important enough to spend some time on them, but not for paying a professional data recovery

I''m looking to try BTRFS on a SSD, and I would like to know what SSD optimizations it applies. Is there a comprehensive list of what ssd mount option does? How are the blocks and metadata arranged? Are there options available comparable to ext2/ext3 to help reduce wear and improve performance? Specifically, on ext2 (journal means more writes, so I don''t use ext3 on SSDs,

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 gang I just did a really stupid thing... I did fdisk and removed the ext3 partition on my 500GB external USB drive, thinking I was working on a usb stick instead. ugh. then I did 'mkdosfs' on it. ugh ugh. Before messing with it any more at all, what good ideas can you all suggest for trying to get my data back? Please don't tell me it's all gone (though I"m afraid it

Hi, Suppose you have an ext2 Partition at 14GB which is 80-90% full. Most files are smaller than 1 MB (there are just 20 or so which are over 100MB where 800MB is the biggest one). Block size etc - everything is default. Now you do this: mke2fs -j /device Important is the "-j" switch. What happens without the "-j" switch? All superblocks and inodes are overwritten. Is this

I am trying to boot a ramdisk on a usb stick in read-only mode using extlinux. When the system boots all I am getting is a blinking cursor. The stick booted with lilo, but I had some issues with lilo so I am trying extlinux. 1) I partitioned the stick as a linux partition, formated it ext2, and mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash. 2) I am running extlinux 3.86. 3) excuted "extlinux -i

Hi all, As promised, I have started a howto document on setting up Samba with NT ACL support, based on experiences in my workplace, as documentation for this seems to be on the short side at the moment. It is available at the following address: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto I have yet to convert it to proper DocBook format, and it needs more material (probably

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

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

Hi Everyone! Just to let you know, I am very happy ext3 made it thorugh to linux kernel 2.4.15 We have installed ext3 on several machines here at jtrix.org (including two laptops) and everything seems to be working fine. Our only concern is for our two public servers. They run linux 2.2.19 for stability reasons. On one of the laptops (dual booting 2.2.19 and 2.4.14) kernel 2.2.19 failed to

Hello, I had a scientific linux 3.0.4 system (rhel compatible), with 3 ide disks, one for / and two others in linear raid (250 gb and 300 gb each). This system was obsoleted so i move the raid disks to a new scientific linux 3.0.7 installation. However, the raid array was not detected ( I put the disks on the same channels and same master/lsave setup as in the previous setup). In fact

What is really puzzling me is that the ataraid device (/dev/ataraid/d0p1 mounted as /bigdisk) 2x 123GB IBM Deskstar's is formated as ext2...top and ps etc... show a fight between kjournald and kupdated and all searches for kjournald or kupdated fights suggest ext3 issues... :-) It's a RedHat 7.2, 2.4.7-10 custom kernal (I added in the Promise FastTrak support and HIGH mem support to
