00:30 < mqueiros_> hi! anyone having problems building nfs-utils and gpm in trunk ?

07:47 < Baldzius> anyone has experienced the problem with grub when it detects 'ext3' as 'ext2fs'?
07:47 < Baldzius> at least on trunk
07:47 < Baldzius> wondering is it e2fsprogs related
08:03 < emte> thats not really a problem persay
08:03 < emte> ext3 is a journal overlay on ext2
08:03 < CIA-14> aldas * r27910 /trunk/package/security/clamav/clamav.desc: * updated clamav (0.92 -> 0.92.1)
08:04 < emte> its handy if your journal ever gets corrupt, mount it as ext2 and fix it
08:06 < emte> do not remember where grub picks up it's info, i have a preference for lilo
08:06 < emte> but i am old
08:16 < Baldzius> yeah, but i've never had such kind of problem while i am using linux
08:16 < Baldzius> i can't install to mbr
08:17 < Baldzius> also it doesn't boot
08:17 < Baldzius> from different grub
08:34 < mtr> moin
08:35 < Baldzius> hi mtr
08:35 < emte> you running the grub command to install to mbr?
08:35 < emte> (obvious i know, but gotta ask)
08:37 < mtr> hi Baldzius
08:37 < Baldzius> emte: yes
08:37 < mtr> hi emte
08:41 < emte> how goes
08:41 -!- CIA-14 [n=CIA@208.69.182.149] has quit []
08:44 < emte> Baldzius, you try running both: grub-install /dev/hda and grub-install hda
08:45 < emte> i still have no idea why grub uses both ways but ...
08:45 < emte> one of them has something to do with the bios order or something
08:48 < Baldzius> emte: it's not the commands, it's the FS as i have it running on ReiserFS without any problem
08:50 < emte> wrong fstab entry?
08:51 < emte> or maybe your journal is corrupt ... any notices in your dmesg?
08:52 -!- mqueiros_ [n=mqueiros@c-217-70-70-55.bragatel.pt] has quit [Client Quit]
08:52 -!- CIA-13 [n=CIA@208.69.182.149] has joined #t2
08:55 < Baldzius> hm
08:55 < Baldzius> maybe
08:56 < Baldzius> i thought that 'ext2fs' is wrong but just cheked on my laptop and it finds the same way
08:56 < Baldzius> i guess it's e2fsprogs related
08:56 < Baldzius> damn
08:57 < emte> like i said it may not be wrong
08:57 < emte> ext3 is just a journal overlay
08:57 < emte> either its not mounting as ext3 or the joural is failing and it is falling back to ext2 for maintainance
08:58 < Baldzius> grub sais something like "Error 2 : bad file or directory"
08:59 < emte> hard to say, was the ext3 journal ever created?
08:59 < Baldzius> i guess, i've used t2 stone to install the system
09:00 < emte> not being a fan of or using by choice, i do not know if grub uses a special naming convention for journaling fs or not
09:00 < emte> but that error does provide a clue
09:01 < emte> now you just need to know what it is referring to, its own config files or to the fs
09:02 < Baldzius> to it's own config files cause it doesn't find the needed files when i am instaklling the grub onto mbr
09:02 < emte> http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html#Top
09:03 < emte> it has a section for troubleshooting different stage failures
09:03 < emte> 2 : Bad file or directory type
09:03 < emte> This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO.
09:03 < emte> there we go
09:04 < emte> anyway i need a nap, good luck
09:06 < Baldzius> cu
