labels like those in gmail

2004-09-09 Thread Bedros Hanounik
I use reiserfs but not familiar with the technical details. I'm wondering if it's possible to use meta tags in reiser4 fs to add labels to files. for example, I could have labels: photo, work, personal, vacation then a jpg file from work would have the labels photo and work. it allows

I have a very similar problem; Assume that I created an ecnrypted partition using reiserfs. I know I can access the partition after a regular boot, but what if I used LiveCD? What data (and where it's stored) I need in order to access that partition using knoppix LiveCD for example. I

I'll be interested in testing your code. I have an old 20GB HD which I can play with. Currently, I have a USB drive formatted in NTFS, because, I want it to be accessible by friend's XP machine in case of emergencies. and I would convert it to ReiserFS once your code is stable enough. having a

First of all, I'm HW engineer, and don't know much about implementation details of FS. I know some coding, I've coded for different levels from linux device drivers to GUI's, but I know a lot about integration between levels of hierarchy. I generally agree with the idea that high level

here's a noob question. I have a usb HD using reiserfs 3.6 I want to change the label of the disk, so when it's automounted, the mounting point has some meaning such as backup instead of usbdisk fstab-sync seems to use the label of the disk to create a mounting point. mkfs.reiserfs -l label

reiserfs using too much space on my HD

2005-10-26 Thread Bedros Hanounik
Hi, I've been using reiserfs for several years now and it's been choice number one for me; I'll probably switch to reiser4 once it's in the main kernel. on my home file server machine, one hard drive (120GB) reports 80 GB used, but I have no idea how and where it's used. df -h reports 80GB used

du -shx reports 9.5GB I'm running latest from gentoo, so I assume it's 3.6.19. I ran fsck.reiserfs from gentoo liveCD 2005.1 and at the end I got zero errors. The problem could be fixed, I could tar the whole root directory to an external drive, format the partition and then tar it back. but

I had the exact same problem on a 300GB hard drive over USB with ReiserFSby running resiserfsck, the tools suggested running it again with --rebuild-tree option and it was a mistake. reiserfsck --rebuild-tree screwed things up big time; but I had a backup copy of my stuff, so I reformatted the HD.
