cannot understand some dmesg output
Hi
I have slackware installed on reiserfs. I am posting the output of dmesg Some of the lines I do not understand. Please can any one explain FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted. FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 reiserfs: found format "3.6" with standard journal reiserfs: checking transaction log (device ide0(3,8)) ... for (ide0(3,8)) ide0(3,8):Using r5 hash to sort names VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 116k freed Adding Swap: 136512k swap-space (priority -1) reiserfs: found format "3.6" with standard journal reiserfs: checking transaction log (device ide0(3,6)) ... for (ide0(3,6)) ide0(3,6):Using r5 hash to sort names I am also trying to install LFS. 2/3 days back I started on this project by creating the relevant partitions etc. When I logged in after 2 days my partition /dev/hda10 was corrupted and cfdisk refused to open. I had to delete the partition and recreate the partition again. What is the linux equivalent of format mkfs I believe Also is the following command correct mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda10 or some additional arguments are needed Thanks Ninadb |
For make a ext filesystem, try: man mke2fs (this command is used for ext2 and 3)
and for generally making filesystems: man mkfs |

Hi
I have a fat partition which has win 98 on it which is /dev/hda1. Is this not identified during boot process Thanks Ninad |
It doesn't look like it. Maybe I'm just missing something. Is that partition listed in /etc/fstab? Do you have any trouble accessing it?
|
Hi
yes it is mounted during booting and I can access it is there any problem like bad sector etc Thanks and regards Ninad |

To get rid of the boot message you have to recompile your kernel and disable the option UMSDOS. I think you only need this if you want to run Linux from within a DOS partition (I might be wrong here...). Better just ignore it and have a happy life ;-) Cheers, Leon. |
