Hi, I seem to have a problem with compiling the kernel 2.4.13 on redhat 7.2? It would compile fine but have errors about ext3 support on reboot.

I've been having an exchange of e-mails with Bryan O'Sullivan regarding this problem. I thought it time to bring it to the list. I've run into a problem where my initramfs archives get this during bootup: checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (ungzip failed); looks like an initrd The same .cpio archive works if I don't gzip it. I stuck a bunch of debug statements into

Hi, I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but when I type in the line: gunzip < ~/ext3-***extraStuffHere***.gz | patch -p1 as in the installation guide, it tells me that the patch is not a proper gzip file. What do I do??? Also, when it says "make menuconfig", does the menuconfig file appear once the patch is ungzipped, or should it be there already? I'm kinda worried

I have gotten the 2.4.13 kernel and the 2.4.13 ext3 patch. Unfortunately, it appears that some lines are wrapped, meaning that the long lines are actually on two lines, which throws the entire patching process off. Right now, my only recourse is to go through and manually fix the problem, which will take awhile, since there are more than 17000 lines of code! Is the problem on my end, or on the

G''Day Folks, While I have a few minutes online (which is rare at the moment - travel), let me post about a couple of new scripts. I''ve just uploaded them to http://www.brendangregg.com/dtrace.html. They are to profile user-level functions and libaries; and kernel-level functions and modules. They sample, rather than trace (which can be both good and bad). Here is hotuser

Hi, Some days ago, I have used the maildir-size-fix.pl script (cited in this mail thread: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087942.html, in available here: http://dovecot.org/tools/maildir-size-fix.pl). This is a very good script and helped me a lot! However, some compressed mails where misdetected as non-compressed mail. So I discovered that some versions of the file command

After my wonderful experience with febootstrap and and gzipped kernel modules I just wanted to post a little information about it. febootstrap uses insmod, it seems because insmod is required for building the initrd, while modprobe can read in gzipped kernel modules, insmod cannot. This means that there are two solutions to the problem, one would be to make febootstrap copy all of the modules to

It''s not quite clear how to go about this so hopefully whoever maintains the FAQ is on this list. As part of closing bug #156, it would be nice to add a sentence on item 4.8 (The initrd that came with my distro does not...) to include the following sentences: "Some distros (notably SLES9) have a mkinitrd that adds garbage to the end of the initrd. These initrds will not work

Hi everybody, actually I wanted to search the list archive, before asking, but unfortunately I don't "get" it: $ gunzip 2018-May.txt.gz gunzip: 2018-May.txt.gz: not in gzip format It seems, that in every archive-file there is always one message in plaintext and then a big binary block. Any hint? Thanks a lot, -- kind regards, thg

To whomever is interested, I have compiled and am running OpenSSH under NCR UNIX using the following procedure: 1. Compile and install zlib to the default location. gunzip zlib*.gz tar -xvfo zlib*tar cd zlib-* ./configure make make install 2. Compile and install openssl to the default location. gunzip openssl*.gz tar -xvfo openssl*tar cd openssl-*

Saving Rdata files in a zip archive form can in some cases save a considerable amount of disk space. R has the zip.file.extract function to extract files from zip archives, but appears not to have any corresponding function to save in zipped form. (At least I have not been able to find anything in the help files or through searching the mail archives.) The system function can be used to call gzip

Allow an alternate libc, such as dietlibc, to be used for the init binary in the supermin appliance. Rich.

Many distros and browsers these days use zstd as the preferred compression method. For example if you unpack a .deb or .rpm file on Debian or Fedora there is zstd archive inside. It is claimed that zstd offers improved compression over gzip, but (unlike lzma) it has comparable decompression speed. Maybe it is interesting to get an estimate of how much R packages would benefit from zstd. Testing
