Re: mounting ext3 for rw
Late reply. Bussy week. After more reading, I changed my mind and decided to go with e2fsprogs to manage ext3 formatted usb hard drive. I still have no sheevaplug and no hdd, but I like to prepare everything and be ready for every surprise. I always recompile kernel and have no ext2fs in it. I should probably kldload ext2fs.ko first to have support. But, I still do not see the way to manage ext3 in a different way, since in the list of apps of e2fsprogs does not exist one to have it. What to do otherwise: mount -t ext2fs /dev/da0s1 /storage Or, did I misunderstand the way it works? Maybe I should not load the module and use something I'm still not aware of?

mounting ext3 for rw
Hi all! I prepare to make plug music server with usb connected hard drive, formated ext3, since the system is ubuntu 9.04 as default. My rips are back-uped on spare usb disk, formated as ufs. My idea is to copy files from ufs to ext3 drive, using freebsd. I would probably enconter inode problem, since modern linuces use inode as 256, but bsd uses it as 128. I could use knoppix and format is with -I 128 flag. In ports available is e2fsprogs package with some utilities that might help. I could also take another approach and use rsync to avoid all inode puzzles. What would you recommend as the most reliable? Mounting ext3 as ext2 poses the question of making it dirty and necessity to fsck it first on linux system. Also, I found some posts of ina- bility to have the job done this way on branch 7. I have 8.0 on the laptop I write this and (if memory serves me well) 7.1 on old desktop.

You could try this, but it needs patching for FreeBSD: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fuse/ ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Have you partitioned and formatted the usb drive on freebsd? Or it was done on some linux distro? Finally, after mounting, I will have to copy files to ext3 drive. Does it work also flowlessly? Since the sheevaplug could mount ext3, I have an option to either rsync or scp to it directories recursive over ethernet adapters and setting ip addresses. What do you think over this?

Best regards Zoran no, it wasn't formated on freebsd. i formatted it under the ArchLinux distribution. In addition, the partition was an ext3, not just an ext2. And i was able to read/write without any problems (at least i didn't notice any). Also, the port installed the following files: fsck.ext2 fsck.ext3 fsck.ext4 fsck.ext4dev so even if the journal somehow will get corrupted, it will be possible to fix it. (i think that i used the fsck.ext3 utility once, because a friend of mine unplugged the drive without unmounting it first and it worked perfectly) ofc ymmv, but i think that it worths a shot. on the last part of your question, i'm afraid that i haven't used sheevaplug, so i can't be of any assistance there. hope i was helpful, Ed -- Real programmers don't document.
