Hiya folks, have a bit of an oddity with a upgrade I did to my file server, I
amongst other things upgraded the 3.2gb hdd to an 8.4gb unit. I use Norton
Ghost to copy the present partitions over to the new drive, the used parition
magic to move the the partitions further to the right (back end of the drive)
and expand them all, especially the /home mount (from approx 2.7gb to 6.3gb),
the home partition was not moved, just resized.
About 95% through the resize (the final step) I got error #1224
Powerquest's sites says:
ERROR #1
Document #: ER1200

Version: 4.x
Linux Ext2 File System Errors (1100-1299) If you are
experiencing an error code in this range, it can generally be ignored. There
is very little documentation regarding these errors because their occurence
is so rare.
if that was all there was to the story I'd probably think nothing of it,
except....
When I view the home samba share (mounted as drive "y")from my win95 box it
reports both capacity and freespace as being 1.99gb. I know there was some
issue around this with the older variants of samba (in this case RH5.2 with
1.9.18 I think), buy when I run fdisk on the linux box it reports the
following for the extended partition,
/dev/hda2 4 1027 8225280 f Win95 Extended (LBA)
which I seem to remember creating with disk druid or fdisk about a year ago
or so, I am gonna take a quick look at the old drive and see what it shows,
but I suspect it won't give any clues.
the entire partition table is as follows
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1027 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 3 24066 83 Linux native

/dev/hda9 1011 1026 128488+ 82 Linux swap
from /etc/fstab
/dev/hda8 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda7 /var ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda9 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
any ideas folks, since this is a replacement drive, I've kept (and will keep)
the previous setup on the former hdd until I am satisfied all is okay.
At this point everyting *seems* to be running just fine....
