Hi,
I came across a tool called something like "ext2 empty" but forgot where
it is now. Primarily, it zero out all unused spaces in ext2 fs, so that
the unused spaces won't take up much spaces when compressed.
Any hint?
Thanks

Hi,
What should I do if encountered the "Interactive rebase already started"

I did:

Switched to a new branch 't/unmount'

Hi,
Sorry if it is a FAQ,
Is the 3G memory access limit is the natural one, or something
superficial imposed by M$? I mean, does 32bits Linux (the i386
architecture) has such 3G limit as well?
thanks

Hi,
[sorry about the cross-posting first]
The gpart package that find lost partitions, has anyone try to test if it
still works? "Luckily" my whole partition table is wiped clean by a
running away Windows app, and I get the chance to test it. The result? --

Hi,
Anybody knows if grub2 allows me to boot partitions from USB?
If so, that'd be useful to boot from boxes that don't have booting off USB

Hi,
Do you have empty primary partitions? Have you noticed where they are?
When leaving an empty primary partition, I'm thinking:
/dev/hda1 Primary
/dev/hda2 Primary
/dev/hda3 Empty
/dev/hda4 Extended
/dev/hda5 Logical
but what I found most existing partitions look like this:
/dev/hda1 Primary
