similar to: ext3 patch does not want to gunzip

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 on reboot. I download ext3-2.4-0.9.13-2413.gz to my linux machine to enable it be useful with ext3 but when I try to gunzip it with the instructions gunzip < ~/ext3-2.4-0.9.13-2413.gz | patch -p1 i get gunzip: stdin: not in gzip format I wonder if you know a way to

I downloaded the ext3-2.4-0.9.13-2413.gz file. When I issue the gunzip < ext3-2.4-0.9.13-2413.gz | patch -p1 command, I get an error message that states the file is not in gunzip format. I would appreciate any recommendations on this problem. Gerald

Hi, I just wanted to compile my kernel 2.4.13 with the ext3-2.4.13-pre6 patch, but it doesn't work. It seems, that the patching failes by replacing some things in a textfile. Does anyone of you know, if there is a upcoming solution for this? Kind regards Jan Albrecht -- Jan Albrecht Phone: +49-5241-80-88404 System Consultant UNIX/NT Fax:

I just upgraded to kernel 2.4.14 and applied the ext3 patch ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz. It appears (to me) that the patch breaks the loop block device module (loop.o). The problem is that the call to deactivate_page is unresolved. The routine used to be defined in swap.c. It looks like it no longer exists in 2.4.14. I'm not a kernel programmer so if I'm mistaken, sorry. I do get an

I've not been happy with the stories about the "stable" 2.4.x kernels. Everywhere I read people saying "not for production use". Would you recommend adding ext3 to 2.2.19 (ext3-0.0.7a) or moving to 2.4.1x and using ext3 there (ext3-0.9.12)? -- -IAN! Ian! D.

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

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

Hi, I am trying to compile the kernel with ext3 support and i downloaded the 2.4.13 kernel and patched it for RH 7.2 to update from the 2.4.7 precompiled ext3fs kernel. Then i selected ext3 support and and the JBD debugging support under 'make xconfig.' Then i ran the following commands make clean make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage

Hello, I recently did a 'make world' to update my base system due to the realpath bug. After that finished, I noticed that I still had the following statically compiled binaries laying around that did not get updated during a 'make world'. I track 4-STABLE. /usr/bin/miniperl /sbin/mount_kernfs /sbin/mount_devfs /sbin/modunload /sbin/modload /sbin/ft /stand/boot_crunch /stand/find

Dear all Salam, i have installed logrotation package in BSD, the script runs every night at 3:00 pm night and makes filename.1.gz. but when i use less command to see this gz file it says "do u want to see binary file??" through which utility i can see the contants of the file???

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

I've been running OpenSSH for quite some time now, and I have been acting more as the point man in making the builds for LinuxPPC as well as distributing it to the Linux for the PowerPC community. Things have worked rather well, making it a straight rebuild of the package. However, a new problem was introduced with 2.1.1p1. It's not critical, but a little more than a simple annoyance.

Following patch improves integration with kbuild. With a future kernel (2.6.14-rc) it now has working support for 'make clean'. Included is an example of how to compile an early userspace program. I selected gzip as the most simple one for this - and left out all the links to different names (gunzip etc.) Before proceeding with this I need some inputs on what functionality is required by

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, 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
