similar to: rootflags=data=journal

I hate to bother the list with this, but I am lost. With our servers that use LILO we use append=rootflags=data=journal. I have read everything I can find on GRUB, the key is everything I can find, and I have no idea how perform the same function in grub.conf Randy

I tried to convert / to ext3, so I went ahead and entered rootflags=noload,journal=355 on the LILO prompt. The kernel failed to mount /: EXT3-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 355 The boot device is a scsi hard disk, so initrd is used to load the scsi driver, before mounting /. So, it looks like the kernel rootflags= arg gets applied to the ramdisk, not the

I am using RedHat 7.2 w/ kernel 2.4.7-10. My / filesystem is configured as ext3. I want to change it to use data=journaled instead of ordered. If I mount it from a boot floppy, it mounts fine. (mount /dev/hda2 /mnt -t ext3 -o data=journal). I have attempted to find the correct procedure to start it up as journaled from grub to no avail. I have created a new initrd image that works fine with

Hi all, On my slackware 7.1 system, in rc.S fsck is started. In fstab there's the following line: /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 from the readme I figured that I should put the line append="rw rootflags=journal=102" in lilo.conf The system boots up, but I get the error message that the root partition is already rw. Should I just skip the filesystem

Hello all. I am currently using ext3 0.0.5d with great success. I am a bit conflicted about what to tell the system regarding my root filesystem however. I have my root filesystem configured and working as an ext3 filesystem, but it is/was not without some fraught. Using RedHat 7.0, if you simply create your journal on the root file- system, figure out it's inode number, issue a lilo -R

Hi, I'm running 2.4.9-ac7 with ext3 compiled in, and I ran across this problem. Now that I look back, it makes sence, but it wasn't obvious at first... I wanted to change the journal mode on my / partition, so I changed my fstab to: /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,data=journal 0 1 as well as several other partitions, and rebooted. After rebooting I had a read only / that I

I updated my kernel from 0.0.3d to 0.0.3e using the "d-e" patch in the 0.0.3e tarball. When I try to boot the new kernel on a machine with an ext3 root filesystem I am getting the message: JFS: Unrecognised features on journal Does this sound feasible or even somewhat expected? Is there any interest in me doing some debugging of this? Is there any way to deal with this without

Doing some debugging of my kernel build with ext3 and noticed something interesting. At the bottom of the rootflags options processing loop there is a return failure if there was an option that ext3 did not know about. Should this be the behaviour? Would it not be better to ignore options not recognized? Surely, some day, some other filesystem is going to want to use rootflags to have one of

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

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:

EXT3 developers: I am curious, if EXT3 is currently being used on the root partition in "data=ordered" mode (the default as I understand), and I want to have the it come up in data=journal mode, how do you effectuate this conversion? I would also be curious how to know if anything special is required for doing so for the /boot partition as well. I believe that with the /home partition,

My guinea pig laptop has only a / partition, and a small /boot partition. I installed the ext3 kernel succesfully (I think). Now, how do I get / converted to ext3? I'm thinking: * Use mkbootdisk on a floppy, to create a boot disk with the ext3 kernel. * Boot off the floppy. * Follow the instructions to convert / to ext3. * Change the filesystem type in /etc/fstab to ext3. * Reboot.

I am trying to use data=journal for my root file system. If I add: Kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda2 rootflags=data=journal To my grub.conf file, all I get is a kernel Panic, "EXT2-fs: Unrecognized mount option data. Kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on 01:00" My fstab file is: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 Any suggestions?

I am new to ext3 + external journal. Is there any howto I can look at? this is what I understand 1. mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/md5 2. mke2fs -J device=/dev/md5 /dev/md0 3. mount /dev/md0 / -t ext3 ( hmm.. what do I need to put on fstab?? ) /dev/md5 is a two drive RAID 1 partition /dev/md0 is a 4 drive RAID 5 partition. questions: 1. I am running RedHat 9.0. what extra software I need to

I want to convert the last of my filesystems to ext3. The only one left is /boot. It is not very big however, only about 10MB itself. Any recommendations on what size journal to put a /boot filesystem of only 10-20MB? Oh, BTW: "tunefs -j -J size=..." is awesome. No more gyrations with dd, chattr, lilo -R, etc. Nice! One note however: even in Stephen's 1.20.WIP.sct-20010216

Hi all how do i change the 4th column in fstab which is now "defaults" (i know this is "ordered" to "journal" how and what other parameters need to be set/changed i.e. tune2fs -J size and device or can i accept the defaults? TIA Lonnie Percent

Hi, again I ran into some difficulties while setting up my / - partition under v0.0.5. With the conversion of my /home - partition went everything well. Even under heavy load I didn't remark anything unusal - apart from a little performance-issue. My current setup is now the following: / - partition: no conversion possible: V1-journal with journal-data mode /home - partition: conversion

Hi, i am having problems converting the rootfs - I created a journal and booted with "rw rootflags=journal=<inode>" - Before i changes the fstab and put the WIP fsck to /sbin/fsck.ext3. The kernel seems to mount the filesystem ok and then the bootup scripts (debian potato) try to fsck the rootfs which leads to e2fsck 1.20-WIP, 17-Jan-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 JFS DEBUG:

Hi, After mounting -t ext2 an ext3 partition, working with, do I have to recreate .journal when I remount the partition as ext3 ? Thanks ! Liu

Hi, I just converted all my hard disk filesystems from ext2 to ext3. This worked perfectly fine for all non-root fs, but I am having trouble converting the root fs, too. Here's what I did: 1. rebuilt my kernel (2.4.20, x86) with ext3 support linked in statically - no module. 2. Added a journal file to my root fs using 'tune2fs -j'. 3. Added 'rootfstype=ext3' to the
