similar to: how to force ext2 root fs type at boot?

Hi there, I'm new to ext3, so I hope you won't find my question to be stupid. I also hope this isn't the 1,000,000th time someone posts it. My problem is the following: I converted my ext2 systems to ext3 using tune2fs -j /dev/sda2 (or 5 for my /home, 2 is my root) Then I modified fstab and put ext3 for each. After a reboot, the mount command says they are mounted as ext3. But when I

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

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

I am using SuSE 7.3 compiled ext3 support into the kernel and installed it. All my partitions load up as ext3 except / . I ran tune2fs several times, still doesn't take on the / drive. Most recent dumpe2fs -h show no features on that drive=, I keep going around in circles, removing .journal from / and running tune2fs but it never works for / What am I doing wrong? ( thanks in advance)

I have ext2 compiled in the kernel (so i can mount the initrd image), all other filesystems are modules. The initrd image contains aic7xxx, jbd, and ext3 modules. /etc/mtab reports the filesystem mounted ext3 /proc/mounts reports it mounted ext2 /proc/filesystems lists ext3 If I umount other partitions that are ext3 the module becomes 'unused'. The filesystem was created

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

Okay.. I'm pulling out my hair, not having much luck trying to get ISOLinux (syslinux) running on my IBM x345 Server... I want to put my boot (syslinux) and root files (lib etc for modules) on the CDROM and just boot off of it to use PartImage... Not having much luck though.. For testing purposes I'm using the boot floopy I created using "The Linux Bootdisk HOWTO" and it

Hi, Does Xen HVM support the the "disk" option that can attach a FAT partion or a floppy image like the qemu? In qemu, we can do it with the option "-hda fat:/root/tmp/" and "-fda /root/floopy.img". Any reply is appreciated. Thanks, Bei Guan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi List, I run XEN 2 since some month (unfortunatly installed by a fiend of mine). Recently I bought some new hardware and tried to get XEN 3 running on a Debian Sarge 3.1. I installed via the Debian installer a RAID 1 with LVM. even though there are some devfs_mk_dir errors systems comes up. Now I installed XEN but system doe not boot as the boot device seems not to be recocnized by the

Hi all, I love syslinux!! It works great. Problem. GHost 8.x and higher... With ghost 7.5 and earlier I was able to boot floppy images from my tftp server. But as you all know Ghost 8.x and higher had a bloated ghost.exe that does not fit on a single 1.44mb floopy image file. Has any one had any luck in getting ghost 8.x and higher to work with syslinux and memdisk? I have tried to create over

Hello, I am using kernel version 2.4.7-10 I upgraded one of the ext2 partition to ext3. the partitions are nearly empty. I ran a program to create empty files, having names in lexicographical order. The time taken to create empty files (100 .. 100000) is same on an ext2 partition and a ext3 partition. Can anyone pls. tell me why there is no difference in the time taken. Is the htree algo.

Can anyone comment on whether or not it is possible to successfully disable the journal of an ext3 root file system prior to reboot? My application is to try and make sure there is no journal prior to installing and rebooting into a system which does not support ext3. I know that as long as the root is cleanly remounted r/o with no journal updates pending, this will be compatible. I'm

hello, I have a problem about pxe booting. I have two isolated machines, one(server) has got dhcp and tftp servers working correctly ( I am pretty confident with this). The other machine (client) using floopy to boot with pxe-request. The problem is, the client cannot get the bootfile("/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"), it always report no boot filename found. I also found the IP address, which

Hi, for a RTlinux application I need to install a 2.4.0 kernel. prevoisly, my kernel 2.4.10 was supporting the ext3 fs and all my fs were under ext3. as 2.4.0 doesn't support ext3 I've got a problem to boot cause /proc is recognise as a ext3 fs and my kernel doesnt know how to mount it. what can I do and how to change back /proc to an ext2 fs thanks Fred

I often get the message: EXT2-fs warning (device hda6): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 I have googled for a reason and a way to solve this - but not found something I could use. Maybe somebody here konws what to do? best regards keld

Hi list, I was looking for a kernel option to mount the root fs (/) as ext2 with an ext3 enabled kernel. I searched the list archive and I'm not sure whether rootflags=noload is the right option... Can someone give me a hint? I'm using 2.4.6-pre5 with ext3-0.0.8. TIA Juri -- Juri Haberland <juri@koschikode.com>

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

According to this: http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/ext3/why.html ext3 is forward and backward compatible with ext2... Any user who wishes to un-journal a file system can do so easily... I am assuming un-journalling is the equivalent of converting it to ext2. How do you do this? I haven't been able to find anything. The reason I want to do this is so I can modify my
