similar to: ext3 and 2.4.5: OK, but how to convert / ?

Hi. I was using ext3 0.0.1 without any problems in the last 33 days (same boot). / was still ext2, but I changed /etc/fstab to ext3. /home/ftp/pub/ is ext3. I mounted /home/ftp/pub/slakware/bare.i with loopback in /mnt/floppy/.

Hi. IIRC, I had the same problem with 2.4.3 and ext2, I'm not sure if with the same directory entry, but at the time fsck fixed without any problems. I only know that the error again is with my Mozilla sources. The Mozilla sources are in another partition. I used lndir from my root fs to symlink everything and build it. At some point c++ segfaulted (happens a lot with my GCC 3.0), and I had

Hi. What are the right steps to convert a file system from ext3 back to ext2 ? I need to use GNU Parted to resize my root file system and Andrew Clausen said I have to convert it to ext2, resize, and then convert back to ext3. My journal is visible. My initrd.img (from which I plan to use Parted) contains both ext2 and ext3. I compile ext2 as a module in my other boot images. --

Hi. I was using 2.4.10 with ext3 0.9.10 and thought it was time to use -ac for the first time because 2.4.12-ac3 includes 0.9.12. I don't know what I did to get the following messages, but in my last boot I removed /etc/mtab (at runtime) and made it a symlink to /proc/mounts. Not sure if a bad idea, but the only problem until I rebooted was the need of losetup -d. When I rebooted, all

I thought that the message, https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/ext3-users/2001-July/000804.html , was the official announcement. BTW, no problems here with 0.9.0. 1 week and some hours of

Hi. While reading Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt I noticed that the information about ext3 is outdated: The ext3 code is currently (Apr 2001) available for 2.2 kernels only, and not yet available for 2.4 kernels. Journaling (ext3) ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ The file was touched when I applied the 2.4.7 patch from Linus, so I suspect it's maintained. --

Hello, I just need a little clarification regarding applying the ext3 patch to the latest kernel. I have 2.4.7-10 that came with RH 7.2. I have ext3 running. I need to upgrade those (to get some USB device working). So I got the latest kernel, 2.4.14, patched it with the ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414 patch, picked ext3 from 'make xconfig', built the kernel, but the new stuff in /boot, etc.,

Hi all i installed Redhat beta Roswell, then i updated to Kernel 2.4.8 patched him and installed the newest util-linux + e2fprogs without any custoumized Options. Bootloader is Grub. Now when i boot he says mount -O or -0 is an invalid Option. tune2fs -j /dev/hdXX says "The filesystem already has a journal" lsmod says that no jbd or ext3 Modules is loadet but i have pachted the Kernel

Hi I have a Firewire connected Micronet 1.5TB RAID with a single large ext3 filesystem on one partition on a dual Xeon system. I am checking out from an extremely large cvs repository (don't ask) to this drive over the course of many days, and intermittently I get bad blocks and the filesystem goes read-only. This is not related to any power failure or anything similar. The RAID is currently

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, just wondering... if i upgrade my kernel + ext3 patch, do i have to recreate the journal? if so (or if not) how do i recreate it? i tried to delete the .journal, reboot and mounting everything as ext2 and do a tune2fs -j /dev/hdxx but it say "The filesystem already has a journal." Thanks, Mark -----BEGIN PGP

I have tried everything to compile a new kernel on my 7.2 base system. I have used 2.4.13-ac6 and 2.4.13 w/ ext3 patch. I have compiled with ext3 built-in and with ext3 as module (with the initrd). I have a SCSI system so I have done the previous variations with both SCSI support built-in and modular (with the initrd). The error I get is: Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: mount: no

I am in the odd situation of needing to revert my root partition back to ext2 so that it may be resized. I prefer to use Partition Magic at the moment and it can only work with partitions of ext2, not ext3. I believe that the documentation for ext3 exists at the main web site, http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/. That is my next destination but as the answer may not exist there, I

Hi - if I have a doubly patched kernel (2.4.5) (1) Apply gkernel/CVS ext3 patches (2) Apply Neil Brown/Reiserfs team knfsd and reiserfs patches Will ext3 be exportable by knfsd (i.e. inherit automagically the nfsd_operations thingies from ext2) or does it need further patching? -- Chan Shih-Ping (Richard) <cshihpin@dso.org.sg> DSO National Laboratories 20 Science Park Drive

Hello , i want to create a script that should automatically free the proxy partition i.e /var. I am able to create that script.
