Fedora Installation :: 'Upgrade' Filesystem Ext3 To Ext4 While Upgrading ?
Jun 11, 2009Is that possible, I mean when I upgrade F10 to F11 with yum upgrade is there a way to 'upgrade' the filesystem to ext4 for example (with the exception of boot partition)? Or I have to reinstall fedora like new?
While changing the filesystem can I do it by parts? what I mean is for example: I have 2 partitions like '/' and '/home' with ext3, so I backup data in '/home', change '/' to ext4 then mv files from '/home' to '/' and change '/home' to ext4 and finally mv those files from '/' to '/home'. Is that possible?

Fedora :: Unable To Add A Physical Drive To An Existing Filesystem?
Aug 15, 2011I want to be able to add a physical drive to an existing filesystem, and PRESTO! That filesystem has more storage and/or redundancy. When one of the physical drives eventually fail, no problem, Ive lost some redundancy, I just have to install a new drive before another one fails.Lets assume I have 4 physical drives.*What Is This Configuration? *[URL]...But I am unclear how to get a logical volume that is mirrored and linear.
The last time I tried software RAID 1 (dm-x) under lvm, it was very fragile. Systemd could not start it,and then an update to mdadm put a stake through its heart. So I know that does not work.

Oct 31, 2010I have a usb flash drive and according to sources I found out after the fact that I should have used ext2 instead of ext4 due to the extra write operations.

CentOS 5 :: Connecting To Existing NFS Filesystem?
Mar 2, 2011I have installed Centos 5.5 running in VMware on my windows PC. My PC is part of a network which connects to a Linux Fileshare system. I am wanting to connect to the existing Linux fileshare from centos. The know the fileshare is NFS and I know the IP address and directory name. I attempted to connect using the 'mount' command as#mount -t nfs <server IP address>:/<directory> <local directory>An attempt was made to mount, however it is username/password protected. I have gone through the docco for 'mount' and cannot find anyway of passing <username><password> with 'mount'. Does anyone know how? Or am I using the wrong command?

Apr 16, 2010am having issues with a corrupted ext4 filesystem. My machine has run flawlessly for weeks, then all of a sudden I am getting messages that I can't access various directories, and on reboot fsck dumps to a command line. So far I have been able to fix the problem by manually running fsck. However, this is the second time that I have run into this problem; the previous time I ended up throwing out my hard drive and doing a clean install.I am running a clean install of Karmic Koala, software RAID, 4 Gb RAM, two 500 Gb Western Digital SATA drives, with an Intel E7200 2.53 Ghz dual core processor.Among other applications, I run VMware 7.0 for the occasional task for which I need a Windows program.

I have always following messages ( occured in beta 2 too ).
But first before i continue - here my disk layout:

This is my problem because those values are seems to be static ! ( note: this partiton is mounted but not in use ) and last not least: the drive is an external usb scsi disk. but on the other side lucid lynx is running fine on my box.
Ubuntu :: Btrfs Filesystem Identified As Ext4?
Jul 24, 2010During the installation of Ubuntu 10.04 the partitioner was wrongfully configured to see a functioning btrfs partition as ext4 (without reformatting it). Thus the installation process got stuck at 5%.Installer was run again ignoring the btrfs partition.btrfs-tools was added to the new 10.04, but the btrfs partition is now recognized ast4 with lost+found folder on it.Tried to add the btrfs to etc/fstab as btrfs but t won't mount.Can the partition/filesystem type be changed so that this is actually recognized and mounted as btrfs, hoping my data is still on it somehow?

Oct 5, 2010I have recently updated my ubuntu 9.10 install to 10.04. And with that I've tried to install snow leopard on my computer so i can dual boot between them.the install was successful, but grub2 (that worked fine) wouldn't see the OS X install on its own partition. so i tried reinstalling it, like you do after you install windows and it would remove grub as the bootloader.That didn't work and i got a lot of messages that it wouldnt work because my partitioning (or something like that) is GPT. by the end of it i didn't have grub installed at all!so i started playing around with GParted, and while doing that i also put a bios_grub flag on my main ubuntu install partition, thinking that it would force grub to load from that partition. But that just gave me the GRUB Rescue prompt when trying to boot.
So i unchecked the bios_grub flag. and now it doesn't boot to anywhere and when inserting the ubuntu live cd i cant even see the ubuntu ext4 partition and mount it.Gparted says that its a partition that its File System is undetectable and unknown.Is there any solution that will allow me just to mount that partition and copy files from it? (unfortunatelly my backups are a little older than i would like them to be)Heres what boot info script gives me: (the partition that i need is sda1)

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Live-CD Cannot Read Ext4 Filesystem?
Aug 18, 2011I want to install 11.04 next to my working 10.04 system. First I need to make room for the new system so I have booted from a live cd and started GParted. In GParted the partition with the 10.04 system on it, /dev/sda1, has a red circle with an exclamation mark in it and I cannot resize it. When I doubleclick on /dev/sda1 there is the following warning
Quote:
Failed to change to directory '.'(Stale NFS file handle)
Failed to change to directory '.'(Stale NFS file handle)
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The following list of software packages is required for ext4 file system support: e2fsprogs v1.41+.
The 10.04 system is working and has worked like a dream for a couple of years and the machine has never had any other system on it. Why would the live CD not be able to read ext4 fs?

Debian :: What Will Be Squeeze's Default Filesystem - Ext3 Or Ext4 ?
Apr 30, 2010I'm wondering if anyone knows what will be Squeeze's default filesystem. Will it be the proven ext3 or the newer (sometimes faster, sometimes slower) ext4?
I currently have ext4 and I have nothing to complain about. In fact, my overall experience has been very positive. Ext4 is definitely faster when fsck runs during boot.
What would be the cons of having ext4 as default in Squeeze?
General :: Recover Data From Repartitioned EXT4 Filesystem
Aug 5, 2011On my drive I had 2 partitions for an Ubuntu 9.04 (swap, /) and one partition for Windows. I figured out that I should upgrade my Ubuntu, so I deleted the "/" partition and in its place created 2 new partitions (/, /home) .
After installing the latest Ubuntu 11.04, I realised that although I had backuped everything I needed in a 2nd disk and I could access those folders and their data from my Ubuntu 9.04, both my Windows and the 11.04 can locate neither the folders nor the data now. I have no idea why this happened (perhaps some issue with the mounting?) I have tried the trial version of Stellar Phoenix linux data recovery tool, but it cannot locate the old partitions.
Ubuntu :: Only Filesystem Resized - Ext4 Partition Remained As Before
Jun 30, 2010I'm resizing an ext4 partition from 100gb to 40gb (I only used 20gb of it or so). Lets say partition is at /dev/sda1. I used
Code:
efsck -f /dev/sda1
to check it
Then I did
Code:
resize2fs -p /dev/sda1 40G
to resize it
When I check fdisk -l, the partition is still 100gb. I have a feeling I resized ONLY the filesystem to 40, but the partition is still 100gb. How do I finish this?

Dec 26, 2010I have a 6x1TB RAID5 set up for testing on ubuntu created with mdadm and formatted with an ext4 fs.
This is being shared over CIFS for windows clients. When looking at the fs from both the file box and the clients, it says 4.47TiB total capacity, and 4.24TiB free space. The only folder is Lost+Found which is empty.
I don't have much experience in Linux filesystems as of yet and I don't understand where this 300 gigs has gone!
Is it something to do with journaling?
