Re: [ts-7000] HOW TO transition to a journaling file system?

[Clark Dunson <>]

I use a USB card reader on a Debian laptop.

1. Mount desired partition, use 'df' to find node:. eg: /media/disk-X is at /dev/sde4

2. Copy contents: sudo tar cvf sde4.tar ../../../media/disk-X

3. unmount and Re-format to jfs, jffs2, etc.

4. Re-mount and confirm /media/disk-X is still at /dev/sde4

5. Restore content: sudo tar xvf sde4.tar

You might want to check, but I seem to remember that 

512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd.bz2 already 

uses jfs on partition 4.

Has anyone succeeded in transitioning their Technologic System SBC's file system to a journaling file system?

I'm using Technologic System's kernel (linux-2.6.21-ts-src-feb022010.tar.gz) together with their SD card image (512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd.bz2). I believe that these use the ext2 file system. I would like to use a more recent file system to reduce the likelihood of file system corruption during a hard board reset (such as from a watchdog timer timeout). [Although, these posts indicate that I may also need to worry about fsck problems:

I'm a linux newbie, so it took me a while just to get these to work together, and my experience using other images and patches found elsewhere have not met with success. So, I would like to continue using TS's products to the extent possible, but I have no idea how I would transition them to a later file system.

Does anyone have any experience they would be willing to share?

Thank you,
Don
