Support for EXT4

[herauthon]

To make transitions from old/different storage systems possible
i wonder if EXT4 is a good idea to have also supported in Nas4Free.

Ofcourse i got the EXT4 partitions and it took me 4Days to
move data from one onto another storage unit to get rid of
less pretty formats or the long waits at journal checking (JFS)
or the GPT (why use it if one has only one partition.. or two?)

So now they are all in EXT4 format - but i like Nas4Free
very much. It would be nice to implement N4F w/o
the big move.

Just now I mount over jail read only flash, divided to 2 volumes.
procedure:
1. install jail
2. over System|Advanced|loader.conf add values
geom_linux_lvm_load YES
fuse_load YES
Reboot server
enter into jail
jexec <jailname> csh
3. Start jail and install fusefs-ext4fuse . I used

Code: Select all

pkg_add -r fusefs-ext4fuse

.
Add to jail's rc.conf fusefs_enable="YES"

Code: Select all

echo 'fusefs_enable="YES"' > /etc/rc.conf

4. create folders to mount volumes

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/flash1
mkdir /mnt/flash2

exit from jail

Code: Select all

exit

5 Restart jail and chroot into his folder

Code: Select all

chroot /mnt/disk/app/thebrig/test

Mount volumes

Code: Select all

ext4fuse /dev/da0s1 /mnt/flash1
ext4fuse /dev/da0s2 /mnt/flash2

It work. Read only
