romfs as initrd

Running 2.4.0-test10 I try to get an romfs image to work as an initrd image. It does work when mount `normally` using `mount -o loop`. However, when used as initrd image it fails. Here's the relevant part of dmesg: RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 16384K size 1024 blocksize

I want my / to be a ramfs filesystem. I intend to populate it from an initrd image, and then remount / as the ramfs filesystem. Is that at all possible? The way I see it the kernel requires / on a device (major,minor) or nfs. Am I out of luck using ramfs as /? If it's easy to fix, how do I

According to the man page for fsync it copies in-core data to disk prior to its return. Does that take async i/o to the media in account? I.e. does it wait for completion of the async i/o to the disk? /Anders PGP signature

2.6.25-rc2 + smartd = hang

Hi, Trying out 2.6.25-rc2 smartd always causes my box to hang. I can switch vt:s and the keyboard seems to work. Using sysrq-e I noticed a callpath open - ext3 - journals - sync_buffer - io_scheduel - generic_unplig_device. I'd guess the open stems from smartd. Removing smartd from the

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: The sysrq-e output is probably just standard ext3 journalling unrelated to the problem... what does dmesg say? lspci? What's your hardware setup? dmesg ; smartd ; dmesg yields no new entries in dmesg. It seems on disk accesses are dead. it still routes packets

Re: 2.6.25-rc2 + smartd = hang

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: So that's using the old IDE drivers. And the network and USB are sharing IRQ#11 with each other. If you are going to be using newer kernels like this (2.6.23+), then you might consider shifting those drives over to libata drivers. This involves a little bit of work

Re: 2.6.25-rc2 + smartd = hang

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: But at this point libata is working much better than the old IDE stuff, and it really is worth moving things over if you can. Ok, I'll take a stab at that tomorrow. Two things... Having switched to ata_piix i can confirm that smartd doesn't hand the system anymore.
