Hello,
I did a fresh install of RH 7.2 recently. I decided to make the OS
partitions ext3 (Note mount command below). I had some disks / partitions
from the previous install that I left ext2. I want to migrate some data from
the ext2 partitions to the ext3 partitions using dump / restore. Whenever I
try and dump from the ext2 partitions, and am getting the strange error:
[root@naked archive]# pwd
/fs2/archive
[root@naked archive]# ls
fs1 fs3 naked_root.tar oldfiles
[root@naked archive]# dump -0f - oldfiles | (cd /fs1/archive/oldfiles ;
restore xf - )
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Jan 29 12:17:40 2002
DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda1 (/ (dir fs2/archive/oldfiles)) to standard output
DUMP: Exclude ext3 journal inode 8
DUMP: Label: /
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
/dev/sda1: File not found by ext2_lookup while translating fs2/archive
restore: Tape read error on first record
-It appears as if dump is trying to dump /dev/sda1 which is my ext3 /
filesystem, even though the dir is fs2/archive/oldfiles which is ext2.
-I am not sure if by default the kernel is compiled with ext2 and ext3
support. However, I can mount / unmount, create files in a partition that is
ext2. ext3 is compiled as a module, but ext2 is not, (thus I cannot load it
with modprobe / insmod).
[root@naked archive]# mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda6 on /fs1 type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda3 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /var type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /fs2 type ext2 (rw)
[root@naked archive]# lsmod

-Is this a problem with dump, or the fact that ext2 support is not in my
kenel? From the doc I read, it seems that ext2 support is built into the
kernel. Am I incorrect?
-Can anyone suggest resolutions to this problem, thanks...
