Last night I switched my laptop over to XFS, and now when I boot I get this message flashing by. Does the first line mean anything to anyone? XFS'ers, is that, ahem, normal? Kernel 2.4.12 with SGI's XFS patch applied.
FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,6) VFS: Mounted root (xfs filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 192k freed All the partitions are Linux (or Linux swap). Everything seems to work alright, although I'm currently considering whether it was worth putting a journalling filesystem on a P150. Secondly, anyone care to offer an insight into how this works. >From the Linux+XFS HOWTO, it suggest using the following to copy your root filesystem across to another partition. cd / tar lcf - .|(cd /mnt/temp; tar xpvf - ) I vaguely understand how it works, but a quick blow-by-blow explanation from someone more knowledgable would be lovely. man tar didn't explain what the - was doing. ta Steve -- If the above does not make sense, I had a Gibberish Protection Fault. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
