labelling partitions with reiserfstune

labelling partitions with reiserfstune

[Nick Burrett]

Hi,

It would be useful if the disk label of a mounted partition could be 
changed by reiserfstune.  Since I'm only after changing the label and 
not the journal, the following assertion seems unreasonable.

bash-2.05# reiserfstune -l / /dev/rd/c0d0p1

<-------------reiserfstune, 2002------------->
reiserfsprogs 3.6.4

reiserfstune: can not rebuild journal of mounted filesystem
bash-2.05#


Regards,


Nick.

will be done someday. probably in reiser4 already.

reiserfs and TUX2 - 2.4.18 or 2.4.19?

[darren]

Hi all,

I want to run TUX2 to serve files off my ReiserFS partition.

But I cannot seem to get TUX2 on kernel 2.4.19, which I would like to
run my reiserfs partition on.

Should I just stick to 2.4.18 and somehow patch the reiserfs there??

We cannot tell you anything about Tux2 because we do not know anything
about it ;)

If you plan to run not current 2.4 kernels, you might want to
get patches from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/<version>.pending

Where <version> next kernel version. (repeat that until you reach latest
kernel). 

But actually 2.4.18 is pretty stable and you may not want to patch it if you
want.

Bye,
    Oleg

I think Darren should try 2.4.20aa1, Andrea Arcangeli's (SuSE) -AA VM kernel.
It has TUX (the web server; TUX2 is a new file system with phase tree under 
construction) on board.

cat /usr/src/linux/net/tux/Config.in
tristate '  Threaded linUX application protocol accelerator layer (TUX)' 
CONFIG_TUX
if [ "$CONFIG_TUX" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_TUX" = "m" ]; then
  bool     '    External CGI module' CONFIG_TUX_EXTCGI
  bool     '    extended TUX logging format' CONFIG_TUX_EXTENDED_LOG
  bool     '    debug TUX' CONFIG_TUX_DEBUG
fi

Regards,
	Dieter

[darren]

Hi!

Thanx for responding to my ques.

So, to make my reiserfs on my RedHat7.3 kernel the same one as the one in Kernel 2.4.20, all i have to do is to patch:

2.4.18-pre1.pending
2.4.18-pre2.pending
.
.
2.4.18-rc1.pending
2.4.18.pending
2.4.19
2.4.20

and so on??

Hello!

   Usually RedHat kernels version are in very little relation with
   vanilla kernel with same version.
   If you'd have canilla 2.4.18, you'd need
   2.4.18.pending and 2.4.19.pending
   With RedHat some of these patches might be already included, so
   you probably need to try and see it for yourself which ones are missing.

Wouldn't it be better to push the changes into the vanilla kernel to save 
everyone from this patch nightmare?

Well, all of the changes are in latest kernel already (2.4.20 as of now).
But the question was about using old kernel (well, may be not that old.
And patched by RedHat. And this was 56 megabytes of patches last time I checked)
