reiserfs
how do i create a reiserfs based files system on a 2.4.2 kernel
will i have to recompile the kernel ? i need the commands for it .. the present file sys is ext2 will it slow down the system ? |
Moved to the software forum
If you are going to use reiserfs you'll need to backup your ext2 fs as a 'mkreiserfs' will format that partition. You may want to look at ext3fs as it allows a migration from ext2 (never tried that myself). I'm a big fan of reiserfs and it has served me well. As for the 2.4.2 kernel... you should get at least the 2.4.16 as there were some IDE drive issues with previous kernels. |
ok the prob is that i cant use another kernel thatn 2.4.2 since my modem wont work .. is there any other way to get journalizing work ?
|
tune2fs -j /dev/hdx
That's the syntax for journalizing an ext2 partition (ext3). It won't do Reiser but it'll do ext3 which is arguably just as good (sufficient nonetheless). Cool |
However, I don't know if ext3 was an option with 2.4.2 so you might not have any luck...
I'll check kernel.org and let you know what I find. Cool |
