journaling on EXT3

2012-06-19 Thread Jim Pazarena
I have an EXT3 which is not journaled. I would like to enable it. So I can modify the entry in fstab to read data=journal, but I am unsure what command is required on the live system to 'convert' the EXT3 to journaling. Suggestions would be appreciated. -- Jim Pazarena deb...@paz.bz

iptables limitations

2011-10-22 Thread Jim Pazarena
I have been using debian as a border router, and using iptables to drop connections to various IPs which hit my honeypot. I am wondering, if there is a point where too many iptables rules impede the speed of the network? How many drops can I entertain, before I should look at some other method

partition re-sizing

2010-06-18 Thread Jim Pazarena
