Actually, it's probably unwise to take major bits of code from big companies. they would normally want to retain some title over the code and infact it's never as good under the surface as the marketing would suggest. Developing our own stuff from the ground up seems preferable to me at lea

About 3 weeks ago Steven sent a message to the kernel mailing list that suggested that that although it's mostly complete it's not actually functional yet (or wasn't) so don't expect "stable" patches or anything just yet... Any more and you'll have to ask somone that knows... or browse the kern

Hi folks, anyone care to guess how stable/useable this new ext2/ext3 filesystem is? Where are the patches available, and has anyone actually used it successfully? Thanks Ricardo On Wed, 10 Mar 1999 14:58:07 + (GMT) A James Lewis wrote: > > I believe there are patches out there, but the

1999-03-10 Thread A James Lewis
I believe there are patches out there, but the general concensus is to call it ext3 to avoid unnecessary use of new code in a mission critical environment before it's fully stable. I think the patch instructions start with "cp -dpR fs/ext2 fs/ext3" or some such. PS. Although my name is James L

Journal fs for linux ?

1999-03-09 Thread Andrew Doane
Not specfically raid, but definitely a related topic- I've been doing a little research on non-ext2 file systems under linux, and have not found anything that is a journaling fs. Does anyone know if this is really the case? I have a file system that is about 80gb, and I'm going to be growing it
