Hello,
i got a problem after i switched from an in-filesystem journal to an
external journal on my soft-raid5 + lvm2 +ext3 volume.
The Procedure was:
- umount the volume
- fsck -fy /dev/vg/space
- tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/vg/space
- create a 400M extended partition on my fast disk (sda)
- mke2fs -O journal_dev -L space-journal /dev/sda6
- tune2fs -o journal_data -j -J device=/dev/sda6 /dev/vg/space
- mount the volume, everything seems ok
- while moving some files around i noticed "attempt to write beyond end
of device sda6" as well as "read-only filesystem" errors
- umount the volume (clean)
- reboot the system and removed the external journal partition to move
it elsewhere
here began my Main Problem:
1. tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/vg/space
"fs has needs_recovery set, please fsck"
2. fsck complains about a wrong uuid of the journal dev when
used with a newly created and i cant see how to force mke2fs to
give
it a particular uuid (the one of the old journal partition) so i
cant fsck the volume
3. man tune2fs says to me that there is the -f switch for this kind
of accidents, but it gives me the same "fs has needs_recovery
set,
please fsck"
I dont think the fs should be needs_recovery and i dont get why
tune2fs -f -O ^has_journal /dev/vg/space
doesnt forcefully remove the flag like said in the manpage.
I am running debian5, linux 2.6.26-1-686, tune2fs 1.41.3
Please someone share your wisedom
greetings
