How do I switch file systems?

I have /home on a separate partition with jfs as it's file system. It is driving me bonkers by freezing and having to be restarted and checked every hour or so. It just started doing it this much just over the last week since my gal got a new Dell XPS with Vista. It seems to happen much more frequently when I have had the computer on for long periods when she is also on the wireless network. It's a Linksys Wireless N WRT300N, she has an Intel Wireless N card that I believe is the latest model, the 5100, and I have the 4965.
All of my temps are reading normal, including the hard drive. I have never had a fail from the reiserfs / partition, or any ext3's that I had had in the past. I just want to swap it back to the ext3, because I have not seen any performance gains, and it has this lovely freezing issue.
I have it mounted noatime and nodiratime (I think thats the spellings for those two) and I have made sure to keep the commit times fairly low so it doesn't use up the hard drive's Load Cycle Count, because mine is one that has that issue in Linux. (Has it in Win Serv 2k8 as well, but that is another story.)
I know that I can simply reformat the partition my home partition is on, but I am not sure how to go about re-establishing the /home and the users that are stored on the partition. I've taken out the / partition and re-installed leaving the /home, but I have never just done the /home.
Is there an easier way to alter the file system? or am I just going to have to deal with a reformat?

This guide describes the procedure I use when I want to switch a partition to a different filesystem: http://inferno.slug.org/cgi-bin/wiki?Dr … nd_Cloning
It needs to be adjusted intelligently for Arch (i.e. sda rather than hda and so on) but the general principle remains the same.

How to work with file system in linux within a JSF app?

I use this line in my backing bean to log some events:
FileHandler fhxml = new FileHandler("../webapps/MyWebApp/Log/MyWebAppLog.xml", append);
fhxml.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());That works fine in windows but when I deploy it in my Tomcat 6 in linux It doesn't work. How can I work with file system in linux?

You should never use relative paths to access the filesystem. The path would be relative to the current working directory which is not per se the same in all environments. To convert a relative web path to an absolute file system path, you need ServletContext#getRealPath(). Use this absolute file system path in the java.io stuff. In a JSF application on top of Servlet API you can get the underlying ServletContext by ExternalContext#getContext().
Alternatively, if the file is located in one of the default paths of the classpath or if its path is added to the classpath, you can also just use ExternalContext#getResource() or even #getResourceAsStream() using just the file name.

How to design a file system based on java card

I have reviewed all kinds of articles about it.And right now I can not find any source code to do that function.But how to design a full gsm file system using java card.
of course you need fast access,dynamic allocate memory,file properties management.Let's talk about it.

just do it.
there is no such feature in the javacard api. This must be coded by hand, you have to manage memory, etc.
I know, that's not cool.

How do increase the file system size

Hi friends,
My newly installed solaris 10 system shows Filesysem full error.
By mistake space allocated for Root is very less and 98% of the space in Root is consumed.
Do i need to restructure entire filesystem or increase space in Root would be sufficient..?
Its 160 GB Harddisk on Intel Core 2 duo. What is the best allocation for the same.
I am very new to Solaris. Trying to learn how does Opensource OS works...
Pls help me
Regards
Bijoy

If you have more drive space you can mount more space and allocate it to a mount point--this may take care of your problem, but if you are out of space and you are not buying any more drives.... then it's time for the install disks to come back out and configure more appropriately to your use.
I have my work machine at home on a x64 AMD with 120 GB of drive. I gave 40 GB to Solaris just to be sure I could do basic installations and grow a little.
Once your allocation is full you have 2 options... buy more and mount it, or reinstall... you choose.
Well, there is a 3rd... you could unmount one of the other allocations and split it, then mount some of it back to your OS and some back to what it was before, but you are going to be plagued with this your entire lifetime of that install.

How to edit larch files (system.sqf) [Solved]

(first sorry for my english )
hi, i am using larch is great but in the past i used linux-live with slackware and in linux-live you can edit "linux-live files" doing:
mo2dir system.mo /livecd-tmp/system/
then you touch everything you want and then rebuild
dir2mo /livecd-tmp/system/ system.mo
i like so much this function because you can personalize everything, with larch system you can do something like that?

larch uses squashfs. Take a look at mksquashfs.

Noisy seagate HD. how can i switch the system to my new HD?

...tired of the noise that my original Seagate HD produces, I am decided to buy a new, much quiter HD (western digital seems to be the best option).
now the question is: how can I restart the mac on the new HD if it's empty and with no system inside?
what do I do once taken out of the box? Do I simply put the new HD in one on the empty slots and it will it appear immediately on the desktop, or do I need to do something? (before doing all these things I would like to be sure).
is there a link on the apple site which explains all that?
thanks

While SuperDuper is excellent, no need to even leave Disk Utility to clone a volume. It has a Restore option that works just fine, and is what I always use to first copy a system (assuming you don't want to do a fresh install and have already done updates and 3rd party installs). SD is great when you want a quick means to update your backups or clone.
Also, no matter which method you choose to use, go back to Disk Utility, click on the new drive volume, and select First Aid and Repair Permissions.
I sometimes like to run the latest Combined Update also on a new clone before booting. I would leave the old drive in as backup, and even repair the drive and permissions once on the new drive.
My complaint with Seagate OEM is it runs hot for a 160GB drive, even when idle and not even being accessed or used at all. And 'sluggish' on the performance side.

How to display a file system in tree view

How to easily switch files in iTunes library

Hello everyone,
I have a current iTunes library that is all set-up with multiple playlists that is synched directly on my iPhone. Since I have a rather large library and only 32GB of space, I downconverted all of my songs to 128kbps. However, I am now looking into get a 64GB iPhone 6 and would like to have the original 256 kbps files in my library instead of the downconverted ones.
I was wondering if there is a simple way to go about and do this quickly and easily? So far, I've noticed that if I change the file in my main library folder, I'll get the exclamation point and will have to go select the new file manually. At about 5000 songs, that would take quite a while!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello realitylpma,
You do all those songs indivually and have iTunes locate them or you can move the songs back to were they were. Once that is done, the go through the step to organize your library. Take a look at the articles below to sort you out with finding where the songs was before as well as organizing the library.
