As per ext4 specification: > In ext2, ext3, and ext4 (when the 64bit feature is not enabled), the > block group descriptor was only 32 bytes long and therefore ends at > bg_checksum. On an ext4 filesystem with the 64bit feature enabled, the > block group descriptor expands to at least the 64 bytes described below; > the size is stored in the superblock. Since block group

Hi, This branch contains the new ext4's inline data support which has been added recently to kernel 3.8. In addition to inline data support, there are other patches that remove trainling whitespaces and extra new lines in ext2fs code and the other adds an assert() macro to Syslinux core. I think it's worth mentioning that these changes were made against master branch.

Hi, I'm trying to boot Debian-Installer image from extlinux with chain.c32; i.e.: - I'm doing this from a loopback device (loop0) which later will be dumped to an USB stick. - GPT disklabel. - Partition 15 (loop0p15) contains extlinux info, and partition 12 contains Debian multi-arch installer image *dumped*[1], and its corresponding menu entry for extlinux is something like: LABEL

In ext4 / e2fsprogs, there is such a thing as "64bit" features. More than 2 years ago (2014May) there was a request to improve EXTLINUX so to support such characteristics. Without supporting this feature, EXTLINUX fails to boot (or rather it fails to be installed correctly) in ext4 when the fs includes such "64bit" characteristic(s). Back then, the request was mainly

From: Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com> CORE/cache: add cache priority parameter; Passing in DX=0 forces the cache entry to stay at the least recently used spot. Any other value allows it to continue on previous behavior of most recently used position in the list. Change ldlinux.asm and extlinux.asm (the only 2 users of cache) to pass in DX=1. Push/Pop DX unless it's definitely safe

Hello, First of all, thanks very much for this piece of software, it's working like a charm. I'm using it to boot a Linux distro I'm working on. What I want to deal with is the display of accented characters in ISOLINUX. First, I set EXTLINUX up to boot an ext2-formatted USB stick. No problem so far. I wrote a config file ordering to load a font (lat-9w) to display french

Hi, The following patches add support for ext4 and btrfs to PV-GRUB. These patches are taken nearly verbatim from those provided by Fedora and Gentoo. We''ve been using these patches for the PV-GRUB images available in EC2 for some time now with no problems. Changes from v1: - Makefile has been changed to check the exit code from patch - The btrfs patch has been rebased to apply

Hi, I'm working on https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/OSTree which is a general-purpose update system for Linux-based operating systems. It isn't a package system itself, but operates at the same level. A primary goal of OSTree is fully atomic updates, and the "swapped chroots" model works well for most of userspace and the kernel/initramfs. However, syslinux relies on

hello, quick question about extlinux: I accidentally installed extlinux on the wrong partition (I run extlinux -i somewhere beofre mounting my usb key to somewhere). Now extlinux seems to be stuck in my main hd partition... how do I remove extlinux from the hard drive? I mean both the extlinux.sys file and the bits in the partition table... Could not find any info how to doit. Thanks. Paolo

Hi All, I am trying to read group descriptor from disk. I am able to read the superblock structure successfully. But I am not getting successful to get the group descriptor. Here is my code. Please check out what is missing. #include<linux/ext3_fs.h> #include<sys/types.h> #include<sys/stat.h> #include<stdio.h> #include<unistd.h> #include<fcntl.h>

Can anyone tell me the history of CONFIG_EXT{2,3}_CHECK? There is code for a "check" option for mount if these options are enabled, but there's no way to enable them.

It's needed to enumerate both UFS1/2 since they have different magic numbers and super block offsets. Besides, UFS2 can be installed in the 0-64k range like BTRFS, whereas UFS1 can't. UFS2 has no cow feature unlike BTRFS. Signed-off-by: Raphael S.Carvalho <raphael.scarv at gmail.com> --- extlinux/main.c | 79 ++++++++++--- extlinux/ufs.h | 26 ++++
