OT - PogoPlug
I am looking at getting a PogoPlug from Ebay. The P21 model that has 4 USB ports. The description only lists to EXT3. I have 2 EXT4 drives that I would like to plug into it without reformating (lots of stuff on them). Does anyone know if this will work? What is the status of the Fedora development for the Pogoplug? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I think I've read that you can mount an EXT4 as EXT3, but you lose the journaling when you do that. And I don't know what possibly bad things may happen to the filesystem, if the system modified it while thinking it was EXT3, that may rear up and bite you later if you mount it subsequently as EXT4. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us Do you not know?

Well I am setting up a ClearOS file server (box just arrived) and I will get an internal 1TB drive for it. I can kind of shuffle things around and empty my 1 2 TB USB drives, reformat them as EXT3 and put them on the PogoPlug. The intension is to use the PogoPlug as the backup for the COS server (and my Fedora notebook). The 1TB on line all the time, and the 2TB kept in a firebox for weekly backups. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
