I follow the wiki about install the files needed in Centos5Plus! I am not able to format the drives with REISERFS. i tried the command mkf2.reiserfs and mkfs.reiserfs. I am able to format them with ext3.
I have been hearing that the guy who developed REISERFS is in jail for chopping up his wife and therefore no more support for it? it that true?
way of enabling support of reiserfs filesystem on centos 5.5 final

I also need to know how to add myself to the sudoers file. I have already tried visudo but this has not worked.
I'm sure I'll be installing Debian Squeeze again soon. Does anyone know if there would be any problems if I installed Debian on a ReiserFS journaling system rather then Ext3?

I'm on a machine running OSX Leopard and Ubuntu 10.04: Ubuntu is installed on a ReiserFS partition, and it's data as well.Ubuntu and OSX are installed one for disk (disk0s* OSX - disk1s* Ubuntu)I'm aware of MacFUSE and I've already used it for sshFS but now I need it to mount a ReiserFS disk: do you know how to do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a installation of Ubuntu on a flash drive that I just finished updating, etc. I noticed that it ran surprisingly slow during all my updates and software installations. I looked into it further and found out that for Flash Drive installations, it is recommended to use ext2 due to it's speed and lack of journaling (to limit the amount of writes to the disk).
I REALLY don't want to spend all the time and effort I have just spentt on reinstalling from scratch! I'd like to convert my partition filesystem from ReiserFS to ext2. How can I do this?
Can I backup all the information, do a new installation using the LiveCD, and restore the backup? What program can I use, and which directories do I need to backup?
I'm about to do a fresh install on a new computer, and I plan to dual boot with Arch Linux and Ubuntu. I've been doing some reading on Arch Linux, and apparently one of the little tweaks that many Arch users use to increase performance is to put /var/ on it's own partition using a file system that is good for quickly writing many small files, namely, ReiserFS. I was wondering if this would do any good for Ubuntu. Is Ubuntu's usage of /var similar to Arch's, and if so would using a similar partition setup provide any performance increase?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just read about reiserfs being way faster than ext4. I am installing lubuntu 10.04 on a Pentium 4 3.06 ht 512ram. Ide 150g this distro will be use only for running a small counter strike source server the system already ave ubuntu on ext4 and win7. So my question are..
1- Can it install my distro on a reiserfs?
2- Is it better?
3- Is this different from other file system. I mean can it be logical?
My external HD where everything I backed up from my previous install will not mount. It shows up in lsusb, but when I do dmesg:

Also of note, my main filesystem is reiserfs, so there isn't a problem of not having reiser installed.
I have so far used reiserfs formatting both in my previous debian (sarge, etch and lenny) and opensuse (SLED10, opensuse-10.2,10.3 &11.3) and was very happy. When last month I installed debian squeeze I missed reiserfs (or did I miss noticing it?) Though Ext3 is giving me no trouble. I would love to have reiserfs. Is it now possible to change the filesystems without much trouble.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed the Squeeze with CD-ROM netinstall. My /home is in /dev/hda6, reiserfs format, and I want to preserve it, I didn't make backup, and there is not the reiserfs option in the partition editor of the netinstall, so that it would be formated the home, otherwise it is not used as home, and I can not even mount it. I try to edit /etc/fstab with the UUID of the device hda6 as home. I have just found reiserfs in http://packages.deb.at/squeeze/i386/rei ... i/download.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm migrating my OpenSuse 11.3 (which was update from 11.2, 11.1 ........ ) to a new hard drive. My partitions were reiserfs and in the migration I'm "converting" them to ext4, the conversion process is simple and it works fine for all of them except the root one:
1) I create a new partition on the new hard disk (bigger than the original one)
2) I format it with ext4
3) I copy all the data with cp -a from the original partition to the new one
I already have all the partitions migrated to the second disk, then I have tried to do it with the root partition:
-I've booted with a system rescue CD and I've done !9 2) and 3) with no problems.
-I've edited and changed al entries in fstab and grub conf (menu.lst) to point the new partitions
-I've reinstalled grub and it seemed It will be no problems booting, but
It begins booting, the grub menu appears, It begins booting the kernel, but suddenly:
waiting for /dev/root to appear: OK
fsck.reiserfs -a /dev/sda2
........
mount -o ro,ad,user_xattr -t reiserfs /dev/root /root
and it fails, because sda2 is not reiserfs, but why does it try to mount it as reiserfs if I'm not saying anywhere it is reiserfs?
This is my fstab:
Code:
#/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160211AS_6PT0V05Y-part2 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AADS-00S9B0_WD-WCAV91599607-part2 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1

I've booted it also with SuperGrub2 disk and the same thing happened, so I think it's not a grub problem but I don't wknow why it tried to mount the root partition as reiserfs.
It stores all my important stuff, as well as some music and movies.I use a second linux box in my living room to "stream" content via NFS or SAMBA share.The streaming tends to stop several times during playback, and needs to fill up its buffer again before continuing to play.I also have some Windows XP and 7 based computers that connect to this file server.I have noticed that directory listing is VERY slow, and there is a huge lag when I want to save/read a file from/to my home directory.

3 RAID5 arrays with 4 hard drives eachLVM on top of the 3 raid5 arrays.The Logical Volume i use is about 6.5TB, and I use the ReiserFS file systemThis LVM has grown over the years, and has had som replaced disks. So I have used the pvmove, and extend commands a bit.I have tried using IOTop and top to check if there is not enough resources available, but that doens't seem to be the problem.I haven't been able to find out why streaming over the network stops, but I know it is the server that causes the problem.Does ReiserFS have any performance problems with large logical volumes? Would changing to EXT4 or some other FS give any performance gain?
I have been having problems with filesystem corruption on my eeepc 1000H for a long time now. I have tried using different filesystems, kernels and distributions (arch, slackware) to no effect. I am starting to grow suspicious that this problem lies somewhere else, as I haven't seen anyone else having similar problems in such a variety of scenarios.
I have tried testing my ram using memtest86+, didn't come up with anything after a full run through. I also have tried using e2fsck -c to check for bad blocks, it finds none. I had a go at using smartctl but wasn't really sure what I was doing. I did a long test and it came up with nothing anyway.
This problem is in addition to the problems I've been having with my intel graphics chip and KMS. A lot of the time there are lockups when booting into X, which can only be gotten out of by a hard reset. This is sometimes what causes the original filesystem errors. I've stopped messing around with KMS for now to eliminate this but my current system in unbootable. I'm guessing my disk is wrecked but have as yet seen no definitive proof. Can anyone recommend anything that I should do?
I am currently on ext4 with a custom kernel 2.6.33-rc6 (the stock kernel shipping with slackware does not have the elantech extension for psmouse included). When I was using arch, I was just using the stock kernels.

I have an i5 Thinkpad running Windows 7 64-bit. VT is enabled in the BIOS. I have installed vmware server v 2.0.2 but am unable to install Centos 5.5 x86_64 as a guest OS. The steps that I followed are as follows:1. Created a new VM, specifying RHEL 5 64-bit as the intended guest OS (per vmware documentation - Centos is not available as a selection2. Downloaded all 8 iso files for Centos v5.5 64-bit3. Modified the CD/DVD drive to 'connect at power' and use an iso with the path pointing to the x86_64 iso 1 of 8When I power up the VM, the console window displays 'ISOLINUX 3.11 2005-09-02 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin' and nothing else. The installation splash screen never appears. As a test, I downloaded the first of 7 iso files for the 32-bit version of Centos 5.5 and pointed the CD/DVD drive to that iso. In that case, the installation starts as expected. I would really like to get the 64-bit version installed and running.

I tried to install centos 5.3 on my dell pc. I downloaded the large 3.69 gb dvd iso. file from 5 seperate mirror sites and burned the disk images. When I boot it did the disk checks and they have been all good. The problem I'm having is it starts the boot process lets me get to the partition settings and then goes to formating the harddrive then when it starts the install part it goes for a few minutes then gives me a error that it cant find a file (not allways the same file) and says the install sorce is missing a file or is corrupted. This is why I have spent a few days downloading from different mirror sites to see if that was the issue, they all cant be bad.
When I first attempted the install it installed grub for multi boots I dont think this has any problem with finding the files but who knows. I looked up on how to uninstall grub and you can not from the info on there site.The box is a dell pent 4 with one gig ram, two ide hard drives and it ran windows xp. I intalled fedora on the box and it ran fine w/ no install errors I just need to try and set up a server so I can install webgui's cms webhosting wre software.

I've downloaded the YUM RPM to a flash drive and double-clicked it in an attempt to install the RPM. Package Manager reported that the RPM is already installed. Oddly enough, when I try to open Package Manager itself, I get an error, "Unable to retrieve repository metadata. This could be caused by not having a network connection available." and the >Details are "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: c5-media. Please verify its path and try again." (A network connection IS available...I'm posting from the server, right now!)
If I click on the Repository Manager button, I get the attached picture and assume that sll is well with those different configurations.
I am attempting to fix a non-production server for a friend of mine. His initial complaint was that he wasn't able to use su or sudo anymore. Upon researching I noticed that he set the owner/group of his entire server to his personal user vs root and what not. I have attempted to run rpm -setguids -a and rpm -setperms -a and it doesn't appear to do anything except to yell at me that i don't have permisions to change the file permissions to root. I am going to be heading over there later tonight and i'm going to try logging in locally as root and then run the rpm -setguids -a. If this doesn't work, is there any other way I can recover the Centos 5.5 permissions back to default? Alternately, is there a way I can reinstall CentOS w/o losing the stuff he has in his /home folder. It is all 1 partition so I was unsure if it would just overwrite what is needed or if it will overwrite everything.
View 3 Replies View RelatedObviously there is something I'm missing or didn't do to get my server(s) to upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 centos. I've fixed the original issue which was the crontab for updating 5.5 and the path from which it was getting the updates had changed. I was able to pull the updates for 5.6 when I made the changes in my crontab file. The yum update will not update the server to 5.6 and only updates packages on 5.5, which is obvious that I don't want this. I've looked at the yum.conf file, yum.repos.d, and in the yum directory with no success in determining why the yum update is not updating to 5.6 . I've checked my logs and nothing to indicate why it's not working. Is there something I missed and what is it? The version of kernel I'm on is:
