ac4 ext3 recovery failure
Rebooting to try 2.4.7-ac4, I had Xfree86 crash on exit and hang the
machine (it does that once a month or so; this notebook gets booted
quite often). After fscking the root and another ext2 partition, the
system got to the big ext3 partition and just went dead. No message,
no disk activity, no keyboard response. I powered down and rebooted
2.4.7-ac3 patched with ext3-2.4-0.9.5-247ac3, and that

ext3+parisc kernel
...el.sh script. after a bit of
fighting I got the kernel to compile. I had to add and remove the
following lines:
line added include/linux/fs.h:1348
extern loff_t no_llseek(struct file *file, loff_t offset, int origin);
Needed for the no_llseek symbol.
line removed kernel/ksyms.c:180
EXPORT_SYMBOL(fsync_no_super);
Needed removal because fsync_no_super was already being exported by
fs/buffer.c:354
Now when I boot. /proc is not mounted at boot, and when I mount it all
the files in /proc appear to be directories. Also networking is gone.
ifconfig just returns w/ nothing and ifconfig -a shows no devices.

ext3 will probably lock up on unmount with 2.4.8-pre8. The fix is
to replace fsync_dev with fsync_no_super in fs/ext3/super.c and
fs/jbd/recovery.c. I'll be generating a new patchset this weekend.

Actually if you dont fix recovery.c it will hang the machine when you mount
an fs that needs recovering. With the old patches at least umount of ext3
seems fine as is.

ext3-2.4-0.9.6
Patch against linux-2.4.8 is at
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/
The only changes here are merging up to 2.4.8 and the bigendian
fix.
linux-2.4.8-ac1 currently has ext3-0.9.3 which has no known
crash-worthy bugs, but is old. I'm about to send Alan a diff
which takes -ac up to 0.9.6. The changes between 0.9.3 and
0.9.6 may be summarised as:
- Simplify the handling of
