Re: I don't understand...
But I did not give up: I used "Menu -> System -> create live USB", then I reboot, then I plugged another USB, then I used "Menu -> System -> Porteus Installer", then I reboot from the another USB, an now it seems everything is working fine, and I am running Porteus on 1 partition formatted as ext4. But now I have access to Porteus folders as Guest, can it be a possibly security risk?
And thanks to everybody for help.

close GParted
copy the Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-i586.iso into /home/guest/Downloads
open a terminal... and here we go:

Re: I don't understand...
OK, I am going to try that, I am curious what will go wrong
May I use ext4? Why you use ext2?

Re: I don't understand...
I always use ext2 on flash-drives
Try ext2 first ....it has no journaling
I never had any advantages with ext3 or 4
EDIT
oops...cross postings
I haven't seen the one, where you said that "everything is working fine"
If so, forget my post..

While trying to sort out inode issue in Linux Questions, was informed that there had been discussions regarding withdrawing support for ext2, and that could have ext4 without journal:donald wrote:Try ext2 first ....it has no journaling

Re: I don't understand...
@ Bogomips
Yep, that's correct
but not in a GUI (GParted)..afaik..
--> withdrawing support for ext2 <--
..hopefully not before i "rest in peace"..

Re: I don't understand...
donald, it is working well. You used terminal to run "Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com", but when I used desktop environment to run "Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com" it was not the same - in my solution, after reboot I must log in as root and I had an error with wi-fi. There were unreadable emblems (white X in red round) in Porteus folders.

Re: I don't understand...
Why ext2 with no journaling is better than ext4. I have on my USB ext4 and everything is fine?

Less processing overhead, less IO on the USB drive, makes it faster.martomlub wrote:Why ext2 with no journaling is better than ext4.

Re: I don't understand...
All the above points. However, you can have ext4 without journal http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... =60#p52811 and then all the above points apply.martomlub wrote:Why ext2 with no journaling is better than ext4.

Re: I don't understand...
If I execute this command on an existing system (after "copy2ram" of course), will the system crash?tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdXN

Re: I don't understand...
Back up the ext4 partition first of all, then do before and after. There should hopefully be a difference after journal space freed.
Code: Select all
df -h /mnt/sdXy

Re: I don't understand...
Whenever there is reading or writing to the drive. And ttbomk most people don't use changes-ro therefore frequent IO to the drive while Porteus is running or when it ends if changes=EXIT used.Evan wrote: isn't ext4 only journalling while you setup Portues and changes-ro then stops it anyway?
If it isn't impacting your performance no need to worry about it.
