[gentoo-user] Gentoo from ext3 to ext4

2009-01-30 Thread reQuiem23
Hi all, i just had the idea to make a new ext4 partition (via mkfs.ext4) and copy (cp) my whole root-dir into that new partition, change the /etc/fstab, add an entry to the grub.conf and booting into that new partition. My /boot is on a separate ext3 partition, so this is not a problem. The

[gentoo-user] localmount before fsck: e2fsck complaining

2009-02-01 Thread reQuiem23
hi all, i just noticed some warnings in my bootup process. the order of the services in question is checkfs - localmount - fsck. however, checkfs does the pending file system checks already before the partitions are mounted, so why is there another service fsck which seems to do just the same?

Hello all, I have solved the problem now. It was due to a missing library issue in HAL. A ln -s /var/lib64/libvolume_id.so.0 /lib64/libvolume_id.so.0 fixed it. Greetings, Niklas reQuiem23 wrote: Hello all, I emerged Gnome 2.24 and am now experiencing problems with removable media
