other filesystem für knoppix?
hello every1,
have a little problem here
i want to backup my computer using gzip, but it tells me that the image file, which i copied to another computer is to big (2 GB). since gzip can handle large files i came to the idea that ext2 cann't handle files larger than 2GB. now my question: how can i start knoppix using a different filesystem?
or is there a function i could split the file in little pieces??
i mountet the other computer on /mnt/test
the command i used was: gzip -9 </dev/hda1 >/mnt/test/image1.gz
thanks for help...
Re: other filesystem für knoppix?
--The 2GB filesize limit usually applies to FAT32 filesystems (your /mnt/test is Windows FAT32, am I right?)
--Anyhow, the "partimage" utility will probably do what you want, only better. See ' man partimage '. Here is an example:
Code:
time partimage \
-z 1 \
-d \
-V 700000 \
-f 3 \
save /dev/hda1 /mnt/test/bkp-hda1-20040621-partimage.gz
--This tells partimage to:
o compress using gzip
o Don't ask for description (output filename will handle this if you want)
o Split backup into CDR-sized chunks
o Exit the program when done
o Which partition to backup
o Where to put the backup file
