Hi,

i once read about a tool to convert a reiserfs to ext3 - but without
using to much additional space. Instead, that tool claimed to use a
sparse-file within the original filesystem to create the new filesystem
by moving the files to new FS contained in the sparse file.

Do you know tools, that can convert reiserfs to ext3 or the other way
round? I have forgotten the name of the tool that i once read about :-(


Thanks
  Sven

sys-fs/convertfs

one look into package.mask could have told you that.

I do something like this:

for x in /*; do
   if [ ${x} != "/usr" ]; then
        tar zcf ${x}.tar ${x}
   fi
   done

for x in /usr/*; do
   tar zcf /usr_`basename ${x}`.tar ${x}
done

Then you save those files to another medium [i.e. cd, or another host
or hard drive or something]

format your root fs with the new fs, and copy those files back and untar.

Livecd:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/node
mount /dev/node /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo
[copy files here...]
for x in *.tar.gz; do
    tar zxf ${x}
done

That's pretty much it.

tar -cf /dev/st0 / --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev

and after mkfs

tar -xf /dev/st0

that is, what big tapedrives are made for ;)

[gentoo-user] eth0 and eth1 configs flip flop

[Kenton Groombridge]

I have two NICs in my system, one for Internet and the other for my
private network.  The NIC that I want to be eth0 uses the forcedeth
module and the NIC I want to be eth1 uses the 3c59x module.

I have set up aliases in my /etc/modules.d/forcedeth:
alias eth0      forcedeth

and /etc/modules.d/3c59x
alias eth1      3c59x

My systems used to load these correctly, but lately it has been loading
the forcedeth as eth1 and 3c59x as eth0.

Even when I stop both net.eth0 and net.eth1 and unload the modules and
start net.eth0, it still loads the 3c59x which should be eth1. 

My /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 do not load these modules.

What I can do to ensure that it associates the correct module with the
correct eth?

Thanks,
Ken

udev can help you.  Unfortunately I don't know enough about it to go 
into greater detail.

Your best choice is to write udev rules for them.

A google for "udev ethernet rules" should get you started.

As Richard already wrote, write udev rules. Read [1] to learn how to do it.

HTH...

mkfs, but make sure you have a backup. *SCNR*
