| rahul | Wyzard: it could still happen because of on-disk write caches |
| Wyzard | ruben: JFS also has good performance |
| itchi | mina_linux_Tux: I'm looking on the site you gave, but i dunno what foo2zjs is |
| rahul | Wyzard: ext2 has the same problem |
| Wyzard | rahul: I've never seen the "file is now full of zeros" problem with any other filesystem besides XFS |
| rahul | ext3 can be set to full data journalling, so it can avoid that, at the cost of having all blocks go through the journal |
| ruben | Wyzard: whats is the 'better' for debian for a desktop at home? |
| mina_linux_Tux | itchi: may u please tell me how to get all the output of the make from the command line to know the errors that i have , and i'll post on the error i got trying to install printconf and come back ok ? |
| itchi | mina_linux_Tux: You want to scroll up? mina_linux_Tux: shift+page up |
| Wyzard | ruben: ext3 is sufficient in most cases, and is well-understood and has good recovery tools in case something goes wrong |
| itchi | mina_linux_Tux: Or maybe are you better to redirect the output directly to a file |
| Wyzard | ruben: reiserfs performs better than ext3, but you'll find that some people say it's well-established and reliable (talking about reiser3, not reiser4) and others who call it "ricerfs" and accuse it of randomly corrupting itself for fun |
| itchi | mina_linux_Tux: ... when you do the make |
| Wyzard | ruben: In some informal testing I found JFS to be a bit faster than reiserfs and I'm using it now |
| ruben | uhmm, interesting |
| bzed | ruben: I've used ext2 when there was no ext3, and I'm using ext3 now... and never managed to crash my disk in a way that e2fsck would have failed. except once, when the drive died |
| mina_linux_Tux | itchi: i did try to redirect but i did not get the errors only the first 5 lines, could you provide me with site you said about it rgarding the |
| ruben | can I switch xfs to ext3? or jfs? |
| bzed | Wyzard: I remember there was one thing why I didn;t want to use JFS.... I forgot which one, though |
| itchi | mina_linux_Tux: Somethings like make 2>&1 >> "/tmp/foo_install.log" |
| Wyzard | not without doing a backup/format/restore on the partition |
| bzed | ruben: not without re-formatting |
| ruben | hehehe :) |
| rahul | ruben: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#wcache |
| itchi | mina_linux_Tux: http://openprinting.org/p the cups site too mina_linux_Tux: remove that unwanted p |
| Wyzard | bzed: Lack of shrinkability is a bit of a concern since I use LVM, but my array is less than half-full presently so I can do the "copy to new, smaller LV" if necessary and I rarely need to shrink filesystems anyway |
| ruben | uhmm, using cp -Rp or tar is a good way to do a backup? |
| litage | i'm trying to remove an LVM logical volume, but it keeps failing with "Can't remove open logical volume "var-log-asterisk"". why would LVM think the LV is open even though ``mount'' doesn't list it? |
| ruben | then format and copy it |
| Wyzard | bzed: I plan to evaluate ext4 when it's released, with an eye toward switching |
| mina_linux_Tux | what's 2>&1>> |
| Mark_Iron | bzed: what about /dev/.statx/dev/fb0 ? .... I have such device ,, and DON't know why |
| mina_linux_Tux | itchi: what's 2>&1>> |
| Mark_Iron | .static .. @ bzed |
| itchi | mina_linux_Tux: To redirect the stuff the standart output and error |
| bzed | Mark_Iron: you'll get it automatically when the module is loaded. !tell Mark_Iron about udev |
