Re: can I use ext4 now?

There are some known bugs with the kernel you're using, hence all of the recommendations for newer kernels (that also switch from ext4dev to ext4). However, if you just want to play with it, you could do that. Personally, I have about 4TB in ext4dev, but it's all stuff that, if I lost it, I'd be annoyed, but not loose anything important. mrc I built a system with ext4 about a month ago. I had some massive fragmentation after moving data back to the system. I ended up making a huge mistake with some permissions requiring a reinstall and have since walked away from ext4. It was a Sid/2.6.30.1 You might want to take a look at the kernel wiki. Seems there are some known problems at the moment with Debian. http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto ### For people who are running Debian In Debian Lenny (Testing), the following current packages provide ext4 support: * ext4dev module in the linux-image package (2.6.26-10) * e2fsprogs (1.41.3-1) It should be noted that the stock 2.6.26 ext4 has problems with delayed allocation and with filesystems with non-extent based files. So until Debian starts shipping a 2.6.27 based kernel or a 2.6.26 kernel with at least the 2.6.26-ext4-7 patchset, you should mount ext4dev filesystems using -o nodelalloc and only use freshly created filesystems using "mke2fs -t ext4dev". (Without these fixes, if you try to use an ext3 filesystem which was converted using "tune2fs -E test_fs -o extents /dev/DEV", you will probably hit a kernel BUG the moment you try to delete or truncate an old non-extent based file.) # -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The references to 2.6.31.4 are referring to the current stable linux kernel available at http://www.kernel.org/ . The latest message I read from the Kernel Team indicated 2.6.32 would be included in Squeeze.¹ So obviously Sid will see that before it enters Squeeze. Compiling your own is not very difficult.² Have a look at the package 'kernel-package' and read over it's documentation.

Sounds like you are left with physically removing the hdd. Of course you could try to /wish/ the OS to appear. :) You had mentioned the screws were threaded. I think you meant to say stripped. If that is the case you can simply use screw extractor. They come in various sizes. Basically a somewhat blunt drill bit with the biting edge oriented for counter clockwise application. Depending on the head of the screw's size it might be beneficial to start a pilot. However, I doubt there is rust/corrosion involved and more than likely the bit biting on the current tool marks would probably do the deed. Another trick you might want to try.. Invert a can of compressed air typically used for cleaning keyboards and such. Spray each screw head directly in several small bursts with the objective of chilling them as much as possible. If the small straw that comes with most is still around, it would greatly help. Take special care as the plastic encasing the screws may become brittle. Then try using a decent knife point as a screwdriver. YMMV. Good luck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

There are number of ways to come up with a partition.. ie using swap, resizing something etc. Also going this route you could have continued with a dual boot setup until you were sure Debian was up and running properly. If space only permitted a standard bare bones system, you'd have access to the core utilities to manipulate things.

But in my experience with the 3965/4965 the device is always visible. Yet it won't be usable without the firmware. As a matter of fact, the installer will even prompt you to load the additional firmware via removable media, but as of Lenny it would fail and is a known bug. Supposedly it will be worked out by squeeze. However, once you have the firmware installed you should have no additional problems connecting.
