[leaf-user] Mounting /var/log on a ext2 partition

2002-05-03 Thread sylvain pelletier

Hi,

I switched from dachtein to bering, all works perfectly.
I replaced my slow bind-8/exim by tinydns/qmail.
Perhaps I'm tired but I don't find where the TMPFS on /var/log is created
(wich script???)
I use a little hard disk for storage and I would like to store logs on a
partition.
What to do?

Thanks

Sylvain

It's created by /linuxrc (symlink to /var/lib/lrpkg/root.linuxrc):

SNIP
[ $VERBOSE ]  echo Generating /tmp  /var/log files ...

if [ `sed '/tmp_size/d' /proc/cmdline` =  ]; then
TMPSIZE=`sed 's/.*tmp_size=/\1/; s/ .*//1' /proc/cmdline`
qt $BB mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp -o size=$TMPSIZE
else
qt $BB mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp
fi

 What to do?
1/ Choose a FS for your HD (for example ext2, but could be reiserfs, ..;) and 
download the corresponding modules
2/ Format your HD 
3/ Mount it

If you choose minix, you do not need to load the module and you have access 
to mkfs.minix in the distro (but there is a max limit to 64M)
If you choose ext2 you will have to donload the ext2.o module and you will 
need mke2fs and fsck.ext2. 

Also Charles has an how-to on this issue:
