hi, > The reason I mentioned ext3 specifically is that it will be included in > the official kernel soon and that moving from ext2 to ext3 is trivial. aye. theres a tool that will convert your mounts , wheres with ext2 -> XFS or Reiser you have to move all data off, format and then replace data alan |

I second that. I switched from ReiserFS to XFS on this PowerBook a while ago (the curious can read up the reasons in the debian-powerpc archives) and was rewarded by a significant increase in performance. I'm using the snapshot patches from ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/patches/. The reason I mentioned ext3 specifically is that it will be included in the official kernel soon and that moving from ext2 to ext3 is trivial. --=20 Earthling Michel D=E4nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast |

Do I understand this right, you using XFS on APUS? I can`t find XFS on the source tree. Have you just take it from the source tree at http://oss.sgi.com and compile it with APUS? Ciao, Renè |

Hello! My realtime-clock on my A4000 is brocken and I can`t boot apus anymore. I have replaced the battery but it seems that the RTC-chip does not working correctly, because A-Dos sometimes says: "bettery backed up clock not found". Maybe I have to replace this chip :-( Apus crashes with kernel access of bad area at the point where the system clock is setting up by reading the RTC. Has anyone an idea? Sometimes I can boot apus, if I manualy set the RTC with "setclock save" under A-Dos before booting apus. But then fsck is forced, damn ext2. Ciao, Renè |

Every few months someone asks this, then I reply with Andries' message, and
nothing happens :-)
BTW, I don't have his mail here, but using Google I found this:
