One day I'll see about updating an old #perl #ext2 defragmentation script to work on more filesystems... Just for the heck of it. #Coding
@HunterZ consider reformatting in #ext2 then?

@lea @lunch I mean, I could understand if for #FAT32 they'd set it to just below 2GiB per file since that's it's maximum.

So yes, we should refuse to accomondate FAT32 or any other legacy filesystem of that matter because even #ext2 supports 16GiB file size at the bare minimum...

As I'm confident that 2012 low-end CPU didn't even have hardware-acceleration, and #hashing on #BitTorrent is solely done to prevent bitflips and enshure it's complete as malicious attacks like #HashCollisions on a torrent are rare and would likely fail due to exceeding the file size as per metadata...

E2fsprogs: Ext2 Filesystem Utilities

The last days I have been working on a project for the visualization of file systems. Now it's complete!

What does a filesystem really look like?

I have visualized different file systems. I created a new partition on a second internal hard disk (SSD) with the respective file system, copied some example files to it and then interpreted the data

Wie sieht ein Dateisystem tatsächlich aus?

Ich habe verschiedene Dateisysteme visualisiert. Dafür habe ich auf einer zweiten internen Festplatte (SSD) eine neue Partition mit dem entsprechenden Dateisystem erstellt, einige Beispiel-Dateien da

It was an adventure learning how to mount a GUID Partition Table (GPT) second extended file system (ext2) partition on NetBSD. mount -t ext2fs /dev/dk8 /mnt was what I needed to do. You'll likely need to change the number 8 to another one, as I have a lot of partitions because my laptop is configured to boot four different operating systems. #NetBSD #gpt #ext2 #mounting

Wir kommen der Lösung des Jahr-2038-Problems näher....ein kleines Stück #Y2k38 #y2038 #2038Problem #Linux #ext2

Ein guter alter Bekannter geht in Rente: Das Dateisystem #Ext2 wird im nächsten #Kernel #Linux 6.9 als "deprecated" markiert, weil es das Jahr-2038-Problem hat:

Wer noch Ext2 nutzt, sollte also auf wenigstens Ext3 oder besser Ext4 umsteigen:
