Dear All,
How to create a 3fs/ext3 file and mount it?
What are the commands?
Looking to create a personal 3fs/ext3 file in my FAT partition for installing xampp into it.
Not asking, how to create a pupsave.3fs file.
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Code: Select all
dd if=/dev/zero of=FILENAME.3fs bs=1M count=64;mkfs.ext3 FILENAME.3fs
To mount it at e.g. /mnt/data:
Code: Select all
mount -t ext3 - loop FILENAME.3fs /mnt/data
Code: Select all
umount /mnt/data
To use a unique mountpoint:
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/xampp_mntpnt

Yes, that would be another simple way of getting your xampp working. Just untar into that mounted ext3 file, which you could link to from /opt or you could make a directory called /opt/lampp and mount it to there. Probably better to make an sfs out of it though, since Puppy is designed to load these automatically.
