Mandrake may operate that way, but RedHat does _not_ -- at least that has been my experience.

I'll try to keep this short (yeah right! ;-). Being primarily a user, I find myself bitching, analyzing and complaining about things I don't stop to understand half the time. I've done more than may share in this regard the various filesystems over the years. I've done a few LUG and tradeshow presentations over the past year, trying to inform different peer admins what Linux JFS

I've seen this come up on occassion, but every NAS OEM that uses NVRAM I've ever talked to over the last 18 months won't tell me anything about their equipment nor their suppliers. Recently, Micro Memory contacted me. Is anyone here using their products? FYI, their 64-bit PCI 128MB-1GB NVRAM board is here:

I've been working on a patchset to change how the inode->i_ctime is accessed in order to give us conditional, high-res timestamps for the ctime and mtime. struct timespec64 has unused bits in it that we can use to implement this. In order to do that however, we need to wrap all accesses of inode->i_ctime to ensure that bits used as flags are appropriately handled. This patchset first

Dr. Tweedie, et al.: I recently formatted a partition using EXT3, and after a "df -h" I get 14GB of space. When I reformatted the partition with ReiserFS, and did a "df -h" I got 16GB of space! Now the partition was setup to be 16GB via fdisk, so 16GB is correct. However, why does EXT3 loose 2GB of space? The journals cannot be that big!?! Very Respectfully, Stuart

I'm a bit surprised: everybody's talking about ReiserFS and even IBM's alpha-staged JFS (a lot of promise here, though - sometime, in the future) and XFS has been barely mentioned! I've been using XFS for 8 months now, with nothing but excellent results. I have a test machine, that duplicates *exactly* the hardware/software configuration of the main server and I'm using it to

I have a network server running FC5, with a hardware raid 3 card using 5 drives, as one large (1.2TB) partition in JFS. I chose JFS because of a recommendation for performance from a MythTV tutorial, but I don't really know much about file systems and am suspecting JFS to be causing my problems. I run samba, apache and MythTV on this machine, and there is essentially only one problem as far

Hi folks... trying to pick between jfs and xfs for a filesystem. In the past we've used jfs with CentOS + centosplus, however, an older post indicated that this may not be the best choice as the version of jfs included with the centosplus kernel would only be as new as the version that was included in the 2.6.18 kernel as RH doesn't backport fixes... It looks like xfs isn't part of

Hello I run the latest kernel from centosplus and use a JFS partition. Even though the jfs tools are installed, when the server crashes, it doesn't run fsck.jfs automatically when at boot time it detects that the partition is corrupted I have to run fsck.jfs manually and mount the drive. Is there a way to make fsck.jfs run automatically if required ? (I recently moved from Fedora to

A couple of days ago I submitted a request to ElRepo and kmod-jfs is now available for CentOS 7 as well. On 04/12/2017 12:58 AM, H wrote: > Thank you, installed it and it worked fine.

Hello all, I'm relatively new to CentOS, but I've been using linux as my main operating system on both the desktop and server ends for the past 4 years. I currently have a PIII server with two 160GB IDE hard drives in it, in a virtual RAID 1 array. At the time of installation, the only FS choices for the largest partition, 120GB, were ext2 and ext3. I chose ext3, but now am wishing
