Free kernel recovery software for linux

ext3 adds journaling filesystem capabilities to ext2fs.
What is journaling?
It means you dont have to fsck after a crash. Basically.
What works?
Journaling to a journal file on the journaled filesystem
Automatic recover when the filesystem is remounted
All VFS operations (including quota) should be journaled
Add data updates are also journaled
What is left to be done?
Quota support for non-data-journaled filesystems.
Journaling to an off-filesystem device, eg. NVRam
Decent documentation!
A few internal cleanups: migrating the extra buffer_head fields to a separate jfs_buffer_info field in particular.
Enhancements:
- The major change in this release is a missing byte-endian conversion in the recovery code. This problem affects both the ext3 kernel recovery and the recovery code in e2fsck. Please upgrade to e2fsprogs-1.21-WIP-0601.tar.gz or later.
- The other significant change is a fix when running shared mmaped files on ext3 with more than one ext3 filesystem active: it was possible for ext3 to get confused about which filesystem was active if the VM tried to swap out a page on one filesystem while processing a filesystem update on the other filesystem.
- Pin the buffer heads backing an inode to a transaction when the transaction starts, to prevent the inode being flushed to disk before transaction commit.
- Add a debugging check to trap any attempts to run a nested transaction inside a transaction on a different filesystem.
- Fix an assertion failure that could occur after allocating an indirect block but failing to allocate a block beneath it due to disk full.
- Fix a bug which meant that writes larger than 4k were never being coalesced into a single transaction.
- Rename the confusingly-named "tid_ge" transaction-greater-than function to "tid_gt"
- Update the README to describe the new ext3 features of current e2fsprogs.

Trinux is a ramdisk-based Linux distribution that boots from a single floppy or CD-ROM, loads it packages from an HTTP/FTP server, a FAT/NTFS/ISO filesystem, or additional floppies.

Trinux contains the latest versions of popular Open Source network security tools for port scanning, packet sniffing, vulnerability scanning, sniffer detection, packet construction, active/passive OS fingerprinting, network monitoring, session-hijacking, backup/recovery, computer forensics, intrusion detection, and more.

Trinux also provides support for Perl, PHP, and Python scripting languages. Remote Trinux boxes can be managed securely with OpenSSH.

Trinux gives you the power of Linux security tools without requiring a full-blown Linux install or the need to download, compile, install, and update a complete suite of security tools that are typically not found in mainstream distributions.

Trinux will boot on any i486 or better with at least 12-16 megabytes of RAM, depending on how many packages are loaded. Hardware support for many common Ethernet cards is provided in the default kerneli and additional NICs are supported via Linux kernel modules.

Trinux 0.7x/0.8x is was developed using Slackware 7.1 and supports the latest 2.2.x kernels and glibc 2.1.x. Trinux 0.8x supports Linux kernel 2.4.x. Trinux was first released in April 1998. Versions up through 0.51 were based on Debian 1.31 binaries linked against libc5. Version 0.6x was built using RedHat Linux 5.2. Trinux utilizes Busybox to replace many common UNIX utilities.

Trinux is released under the terms of the GNU Public License.

Slackmod is a Slackware modules manager.

Slackmod is a GTK2 interface developed for Slackware for the rc.modules file.

A simple interface that scans your kernel and rebuild a rc.modules that contains compiled modules only.

Slackmod has an algorithm that checks kernels changes and automatically rebuild you personalized rc.modules.

Slackmod supports kernel 2.4 and 2.6 too.

Crash Recovery for Linux sounds a bit superfluous. Linux is regarded as one of todays most stable Operating Systems. In the case of some hardware failure like a broken disk it can however be handy.
Of course your machine doesnt have to have linux installed to make use of the CRK kit. There are several uses and purposes for the CRK to be used. To name a few :
- recovery of a trashed LILO boot record. How many times does it happen that some person installs windows 98/95 after he/she installed linux? Well in that case windows 9X just overwrites the MBR record and linux wont be able to boot anymore.
- backup over the network in the form of tar.gz tarballs. Both FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and all filesystems which Linux supports in a read/write fashion can be taken care of. The strong part of the CRK is when a disk is replaced or repartitioning is being done. The CRK boots a complete mini linux with networking where all possible hardware which is inside the Linux kernel is available.
- Testing hardware of new intel based machines.
- Detecting versions and types of hardware. The Linux kernel holds a large database of hardware supported. Booting a linux kernel doesnt only resolve if the hardware is ok, it also show its specs. This can be handy if one wants to check-out an old/new PC which is for sale.
- Recovery of a misconfigured or hacked Linux system. Well that can happen. /etc/fstab can be wrong or the root password is unknown etc.
- make a tape backup of a disk which cant be booted anymore.
The CRK is based on RedHat Linux. I have always used RedHat systems, thats why. When my system needed maintenance the rescue floppy image which RedHat supplies didnt fullfill my needs.
Thats why i created the CRK. Lately i use Mandrake. How and why the CRK was created read the short history. The CRK is licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL).

kfsmd (kernel filesystem monitor daemon) is a daemon to log and view kernel filesystem changes using inotify.
Its main purpose is to allow libferris to reindex all updated files while you are sleeping.
Enhancements:
- This version was ported to the inotify syscall interface of mainline kernel 2.6.13+.

Kaboot Linux Operating system aims to provide an operating system which you can take anywhere and has all your favourite programs on.
Kaboot operating system is avaliable as a Live CD or Live USB you can take with you anywhere.
A number of different versions are avaliable, two optimised for size or speed, one for functionality, and one science based.
All containing a host of useful programs able to boot virtually any computer (meeting the minimum requirements) from CD and
USB.Kaboot is still in active development and if you find a bug or fix, you can let me know in the forums.
Enhancements:
- A network bug was fixed.
- A few debugging utilities were added.
- Hotplugging was implemented.

Alphagate Systems Kernel Patchset provides new technologies and features, standard enhancements, as well as trivial-but-necessary fixes, that have not yet made it into the mainline (vanilla) Kernel.
So on one side, you get the next-gen code, while retaining stability is of concern. We choose SUSE Kernels because it is another stage of quality assurance that things do work reasonably.
2.6-AS22 is based on 2.6.15, which is quite a jump from 2.6.13. Certain things are missing because they are not available yet, such as TPROXY support. Because of this, AS21 and AS22 were released at the same time.
