Hi there, I'm new to ext3, so I hope you won't find my question to be stupid. I also hope this isn't the 1,000,000th time someone posts it. My problem is the following: I converted my ext2 systems to ext3 using tune2fs -j /dev/sda2 (or 5 for my /home, 2 is my root) Then I modified fstab and put ext3 for each. After a reboot, the mount command says they are mounted as ext3. But when I

This patch contains the following cleanups: - there's no need for ext3_count_free() #ifndef EXT3FS_DEBUG - having prototypes for ext3_count_free() in two different headers is nonsense Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk at stusta.de> --- fs/ext3/balloc.c | 2 -- fs/ext3/bitmap.c | 8 +++++++- fs/ext3/bitmap.h | 8 -------- fs/ext3/ialloc.c | 1 - 4 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) --- linux-2.6.15-rc1-mm1-full/fs/ext3/bitmap.c.old 2005-11-18 02:52:02.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.15-rc1-mm1-full/fs/ext3/bitmap.c 2005-1...

Hi Stephen, I'm one of developers of SnapFS, which based on Ext3. I got Assertion failure from SnapFS, at ext3_new_block() in fs/ext3/balloc.c: J_ASSERT (!test_and_set_bit(BH_Alloced, &bh->b_state)) If J_ASSERT is only use as debug, why it will modify data? I found the 'BH_Alloced' flag only occures at two place: one is balloc.c as above, the other is at journal_forget() in fs/jfs/transaction.c: J_ASSERT (!test_and_se...

Can anyone tell me the history of CONFIG_EXT{2,3}_CHECK? There is code for a "check" option for mount if these options are enabled, but there's no way to enable them.

..., and probably does not warrant an upgrade for production machines. Its effects are: 1) errors are generated from e2fsck and 2) users could appear to be over quota when they really aren't.

Lo, Is there already a patch out for latest 2.4.6-ac release? I'm pretty sure that the ext3 patch -ac2 can not be applied on this release. Bye. -- the trees the birds the air the grass the water the flies the trees
