For transitions between ext2 and ext3, there's only limited
modifications needed:
<http://olstrans.sourceforge.net/release/OLS2000-ext3/OLS2000-ext3.html>
"And one of the most important goals for the whole project was to
provide absolute, total, complete backwards and forwards
compatibility between EXT2 and EXT3. You can take an existing EXT2
filesystem, throw a journal file onto it, and mount it as
EXT3. There, you have a journalled filesystem. This laptop, I
installed Red Hat 6.2 on it, it formats all of these partitions as
EXT2. I've added a couple of journal files and now it's all running
EXT3." -- Stephen Tweedie
It's not terribly likely that there will be such a tool for the
transition of ext2 <--> ReiserFS; the formats differ _substantially_,
and the effort of writing such a "translator" and then the effort of
_making it robust_ would be considered better spent on making ReiserFS
_better_.
Someone that has set up a system to be so fragile that they haven't
the means to back up and recover a filesystem or two really has a much
bigger problem than that of merely running out of disk space; they are
running a serious risk of losing _everything_ to a power surge or a
disk "head crash."
Microsoft eventually realized that risking peoples' data by letting
them create "compressed partitions" [ala "DoubleSpace" and such] was a
downright awful idea; I see _no_ reason to run down that unfortunate
road by trying to do in-place FS conversions.
Such a conversion qualifies as a Spectacularly Dangerous Operation
that commends itself to making sure you do a backup first. Only a
complete idiot _wouldn't_ do a backup first. And given _that_
stipulation, since there _is_ a backup, it makes a whopping lot more
sense to set up the new filesystem by pulling in the data from the
backup than to try to do something dangrous in-place.

How about using the GNOME Soundrecorder to get the wav file from the tape

mp3encode or bladeenc to encode wav into mp3?
See http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue63/3420.html for wav into

Did you solve it? It is new. I did not get it for 10 months after I got
this machine, and then it started happening. As far as I remember, the
only change I made was upgrading sendmail from 8.9.3 to 8.11.2. I cannot
believe that would have anything to do with it, since, while the
sendmail daemon is running, the connection is not up yet as the ISP has
not told me my IP address (which I happen to know, since it is fixed,
but they tell me) or theirs.
Since it is a new problem, I am inclined to go with the hardware theory.
I have seen pattern sensitivity in magnetic core memories in the past
that were difficult to diagnose, since the memory test programs worked
just fine. It crashed the OS I wrote for the machine, though. Luckily,
the OS was completely relocatable, so I moved it up by a few words in
memory and the problem went away. This enabled me to pinpoint the memory
addresses that were at fault, and I could write about a 16-instruction
program (nothing less would cause the problem) in assembler that caused
the failure, and gave it to the hardware techie who promptly fixed the
hardware.
But I suppose the problem could be a modem problem as well. It seems to
be happening about once a week. I wish it would go away or happen a lot
more frequently. Then I might have a hope of finding it.

It really depends on what is wrong with the memory. If it is
sufficiently pattern-sensitive, it might appear to be very specific
(misleadingly so). What if the bad memory were right where the modem
driver code is. And that may be a module and work just fine when loaded
any other place in real address space? (In this case, it does not look
that way: the modem is not in /etc/conf.modules).

ecasound? gramofile? Some combination of the two? ecasound is a
package of several sound-recording and editing utilities, gramofile is
designed to "clean up" existing sound files to remove skips/noise.

I had a similar problem recently. It was caused by not being connected to
the internet, therefore my DNS requests weren't being satisfied. I had the
problem even though I was communicating only between two local machines by
IP address (not by name!). This was my experience - may be of some help.
Suggestion: put in a small ipchains script that NAT's and logs everything.
Then look at the audit-trail of messages after you've tried to connect. This
will usually point you to whether it is a network communicaition problem or
alternatively an FTP configuration problem independent of the network.
A less likely situation is that you have blocked incoming calls - check your
ftpaccess configuration file.
Finally, I had a second problem where I couldn't connect to FTP. It was an
"illegal instruction" error that didn't display when I tried to connect,
(all I got was "host is closing connection"). So take a look at your wu-ftp
error log and it will probably tell you something useful - that's where I
got the "illegal instruction" message.

????? This is totally wrong. Redhat or Mandrake or whoever do NOT keep
their iso packages up to date. Those packages are the same as they were
12 months ago when 7.0 was released. It has all of the bugs and security
holes that it had when released. You MUST do security updates
immediately after you install the OS.
Why do they not update their isos? Who knows.

None of the recording things know whether you have high bandwidth new
music on that tape, or simple speach or 1 hour of tape hiss. They all
take the same amount of space-- about 600MB per hour.
Use programs like gramofile or gnoise to record the stuff through your
sound card to disk. Then run that file through mp3.

Using WINE and Quicken 98 (99?) you can make it run under Linux.
Try http://www.ocdeweavers.com/wine/ and http://www.wnehq.org

Subject: Best way to replicate Linux partition?
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2001 03:22:25 GMT
I want to migrate to a new hard drive that I have bought but do not want
to lose any of the additions/customizations I have in my current
installation. What is the best way to do this. I currently am running
Red Hat 6.2. Would dd or cpio be the best way?
Also, while on the subject is there a way to identify modifications to a
running installation similar to what Sequent and other unix vendors have
with bomverify (Bill of Materials Verification)?
Thanks Ray

With the appropiate QT libraries, it will run in **any** window manager.
As well as SCREEM http://www.screem.org , a web-site editor based on
Gnome.
