#5
New Release of Debian

I was reading my "Linux User & Developer" mag from the UK here in Japan and found a link to www.goodbye-microsoft.com.
This was a neat way to install Debian on my system without CD's.
Had a few problems with the box, I think I have a bad mem card but got around that and it installed.
I did get a bit miffed on the kernel choices I had but settled on 2.6.18-4-686 Linux version or Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12.
The problem I have now is the same as always.
I have a Terastation that is formatted as XFS.
I can read files but can't write.
I have searched the net but can only find talk of XFS and Linux and most of that is 2 years old.
I'll continue my search but if anyone out there knows what I need to write to an XFS filesystem that would be appreciated.
I'm sure a kernel mod is involved.

I don't know anything about the XFS filesystem, but i imagine you'd get more responses from XFS gurus if you were to make a new, separate blog post titled "writing to XFS under linux" or something like that.

Good luck, and do report back here when you sort it out, so the rest of us can learn what you've learned!

I began experimenting and found I can write and read from that file systems using the command line and Konqueror. I am unable to write files to it using OpenOffice.org.
I will check out the XFS group and see what if they have more info though.
