Two root file file systems ?

by k.. » Sat, 12 Jun 1993 02:35:27

Greetings,

Is is possible to have another root file system, on say an external
drive? How would this be set up on a V5 like system? How would you
boot from it?

Thanks
Bill

1. Enhanced Filing system - file system like DEC Advanced File system for Linux

Some time ago I was involved in discussion on this news group regarding the
design of a new file system for Linux. The main aim is to support dynamic size
changing by adding/removing partitions from the file system at run time without
interrupting processes that are using the file system. Another major feature is
logging so that a system crash or power failure can be recovered from without
data loss or an excessive amount of time spent running FSCK.
