I did a tune2fs -l on some volumes of mine, and a few say "not clean" as the filesystem state. But how do I tell what's causing it to be not clean, or how severe it is, so i know how soon i need to schedule downtime to run a e2fsck on that volume?
View 10 RepliesI have some large volumes that I don't want to automatically be e2fsck'd when I reboot the server. Is it safe to change maximum mount count to -1 and check interval to 0 while a volume is mounted, or will that cause problems to the file system?

It is nice to set tune2fs -c 2 for disks that have to be reliable and increase the security of the data.
tune2fs is not working for JFS. How to make this check at every single boot of the Debian/ubuntu machine?
I'm logged into a server through the CLI and did a df -T and confirmed all my volumes are ext3. but when I do a tune2fs -l /dev/sde it tells me
tune2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
tune2fs: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sde
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
I don't have root access on the server, but is that why it's complaining, or is my syntax incorrect?
I have a Western Digital 2TB HDD on Ubuntu 9.10. This is my secondary HDD which is used only for Storage of media files. I mount it as & when needed only to stream my media content. I have tried many times to use tune2fs to free up the extra space which has been reserved automatically by linux yet although it accepts the commands & doesnt give back any errors, when I run the df- h or du- h commands, linux has still reserved 200GB & I only have 1.8TB to use. This extremely annoying as Im quickly filling it up with about 400GB currently available for me, that could easily be 500GB.
My primary drive is a seperate HDD of 320GB Storage is /dev/sdb1 for which I mount it to a folder called 'media-centre'. Then after mounting, I run the command: tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1 media-centre I takes the command with no problems, I run df -h, & no joy. I have read my books at home as well as google searches & forums. Am I missing something simple here, does this command work only with certain types of HDD's?
I posted on another forum & followed a post that said I should convert from ext3 to ext2 as the journal is the cause, I ran a tune2fs -O ^has_journal etx2 /dev/sdb1 (something like that) & checked /etc/fstab which did not reference my storage HDD.
I'm rearranging a bunch of disks on my server at home and I find myself in the position of wanting to move a bunch of LVM logical volumes to another volume group. Is there a simple way to do this? I saw mention of a cplv command but this seems to be either old or not something that was ever available for linux.

I just discovered that you can automount an ext4 filesystem with acl enabled by running "tune2fs -o acl". (I knew about tune2fs but did not dare to use it until now). However, the acl mount option does not show up in /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts. Can I ignore this, or is there a way of telling the system about the actual mount options?
Edit: I can do "tune2fs -l <device> | grep acl | awk '{print $4}'" and if that isn't empty I can update /etc/mtab with "mount -f -o remount,acl <device>", but like the udev rule I previously messed with this seems lumberingly unelegant to me.
Is there any difference between apt-get clean and aptitude clean? Do they both remove the same caches? Should I know any other commands for cleaning up wasted space on my ubuntu laptop?

I have inserted my handy drive. However, when I right click and select unmount I get the following message:
An application is preventing the volume "New Volume" from being unmounted
So I try from the command line:
umount /dev/sdb1
And I get the following message:
umount: /media/New Volume: device is busy.
All I have done is copied some files to my handy drive. So I am not sure what process is keeping my handy drive busy.Is there any command that I can use to see what process of anything else is using the handy drive?
i want to enable the "large_file" option for a file system sda5. Though i got the option from "man tune2fs" , am unable to execute that.

dumpe2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)

The following is not working , as i think am missing something here.

I have a basic question regarding how to clean up linux disk space. I use "df" to check my disk and found out usage is 100%. SO I use "du -b | sort -r -n > tmp.txt" and found out that /var/spoon/clientmqueue/ has taken the biggest disk space. I deleted the file in that directory using "rm". But after that, I run "df" again, still got 100% usage.

There is only thing that would simplify my life minutely..Anybody know how can I have the volume buttons on my laptop change the "pcm" channel volume rather than "master"? If they could control pcm, then I could adjust the volume coming out of my headphones or my computer speaker (both controlled by pcm, but not master...seems strange to me) with just one click.I tried to find this info online, but all results seem to refer to an older version. The simple "click here, set this" solution no longer is possible.

I've got my xubuntu 10.10 install just about perfect on a little acer aspire d250, apart from a small sound useability issue: In the interests of simplicity and resource usage I removed pulseaudio. After a bit of fiddling I got it so that my USB soundcard (ProDac) is recognized and automatically set as the default soundcard when plugged in. Any sound applications automatically use the USB sound if it present, no need to around with pulse. The only problem is that my netbook's volume control keys still only control the master volume of the inbuilt soundcard, and have no effect on the usb sound. Does anyone know of a way to change which sound device these keys actually effect? I'd like to write a little script so that when the usb device is detected the keys are remapped.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit on an old DFI KT600AL motherboard based system using the onboard VIA 3058 AC97 audio (because it supports front panel audio connections and none of the add-in PCI soundcards I have do). I have an old Gateway/STB TVPCI TV tuner card (mainly wanted the FM radio part to work) hooked up to the cd audio connector on the motherboard because the digital audio over the pci bus apparently isn't supported for this card (neither is the onboard analog mixer on the tv tuner card, I had to hack a CD-ROM audio cable and solder it to the audio outputs of the tv tuner module on the TV tuner card). When I use the master channel as the master channel (selected in Kmix) then as one would expect it affects the output volume of all other audio playing on the system except that which is being handled by the PCM channel. On Windows the PCM channel was also affected by the "Volume Control" slider such that ALL volume levels were reduced when moving the slider. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to make it work like this on Kubuntu.
First off I should warn you that I (like many users of older hardware that is not properly supported under PulseAudio) have uninstalled PulseAudio (because it's garbage) and am using Alsa to manage my audio hardware. I would think that there would be some way to do this using the 'amixer' application to add the PCM channel as a component of the 'Master' channel so that when the volume is turned down using the 'Master' channel control it will affect the PCM channel too (at least the output to the speaker jack, not necessarily the capture or mix volume though), but I'm not really any good at doing things from a terminal window and the options for the amixer command kind of confused me.
I used Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on IMac i7. As far as, I remember, after installing Pulse-Audio Equalizer, for each restart of the system, after login screen, system sets volume to maximum value. What can I do?

[Code]...
how can you remove all the makefiles and whatnot and basically restore the source package to its original form after you've called "./configure" or even "make" ?
for instance you changed the source code then you ran ./configure then make then make install ....etc you checked the software and it functioned as you expected it does , now you want to remove all the makefiles and all that other jizz that you don't need or want anymore in the source (obviously in order to package it for distribution)
what is the "standard" method for doing so?
I run Linux Slackware 13.1. I have a hard drive with a ext2 filesystem, and I would like to mark the filesystem as Clean without running FSCK on it.
