Title: Kernel
Post by: MM on July 17, 2002, 02:21:20 AM

I know updating the kernel in E-smith is not as easy as it sounds but where can I find the proper steps to update v5.5 to the 2.4.19 kernel.

Are there other issues that i need to take into consideration??

www.clarkconnect.org has 2.4 firewall.

Check out this thread

http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=14422.msg54963#msg54963

It talks about 2.4 kernel on E-Smith.  It also links to:

ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/ShadLords/iso/

Which is an ISO with a 2.4 kernel for E-Smith.  Check the readme as well.

Thanks I will go through the readme. I guess the best solution would be to use v5.5 as is.

Can someone shed some light on this

"Having round about 400 GB of data plus 200 GB of mails a journaling fs would be highly recommended."

It's a quote from another section of the newsboard

Hi MM,

hope I can, cause the original msg. was from me.

What I intended to point out was the fact that someone like me have quite a lot of data ( 400 GB filestuff + 200 GB Mails ) would really like to have a more stable, reliable and even better performing filesystem than ext2 actually is.

That's what it means.

cheers,

Ralph

Not to mention that 600 gigs of filesystem takes a LONG time to fsck ("scandisk" for those windows folks out there) should the filesystem not unmount cleanly...

Hi Kelly,

that's exactly why ( last time it took almost 18 hours to do the checks and fixes on a not cleanly unmounted fs .... )

cheers,

Ralph

Why are your filesystems not being correctly unmounted? Is this due to system crashes or power outages? Have you considered buying a ups?

Hi Damien,

just some sort of hardware breakdown. All my servers are fully upsed.

Even if I've never had any trouble :
Journaling filesystem should be used in every prod. env.

cheerio,

Ralph
