Hello, I am using kernel version 2.4.7-10 I upgraded one of the ext2 partition to ext3. the partitions are nearly empty. I ran a program to create empty files, having names in lexicographical order. The time taken to create empty files (100 .. 100000) is same on an ext2 partition and a ext3 partition. Can anyone pls. tell me why there is no difference in the time taken. Is the htree algo.

...-) I can well believe this might be a fault in the PAM pam_opie module I am using, so has anyone got Challenge/Response authentication working under PAM and with the challenge being given? If so what pam module are you using?

We've noticed our fully-virtualized KVM guests' time keeps getting faster, despite running ntpd. A quick google reveals this to be a known problem with virtual guests. It seems there are a variety of solutions, some apparently vendor-specific. What is the best practice as of now for KVM guests? * Setting independent_wallclock=1 (or is that a xen-only thing)? * Passing kernel

...ave a particularly high opinion of reiserfs reliability, but it normally appears to fail in a all-or-nothing way (ie filesystem unusable) rather than some files going corrupt or missing, so I can work round that with a backup regime.

...heartbeat? If so do you have any magic startup scripting or other special sauce? [I'll be playing with this over the next couple of days, although concentrating on pop for our requirements.

Hi, I am running FC4 with postfix/dovecot/amavisd-new etc on my box with 50 staff email accounts (say 10 per 5 departments)... everything is working ok... I want to create 5 more accounts for each department (to be redirected to respective staffs, e.g. sales at xyz.com) as well one for everyone... that can be easily done by creating an account and modifying the .forward file in the

Recently our sysadm accidentally powercycled our server (RedHat8) after 198 days of uptime, and upon boot it insisted on checking one partition (/dev/sda7) in our RAID. When it was done, the files were in the state of August 23 last year, with anything newer either gone or invisible. I guess something went wrong with journaling data. What can I do to restore the current state (except restore from

...3 filesystem on top of a loopback AES encrypted device, which in turn is on top of a raw partition (so no other things in the way that should be reordering writes).

Hi, I just started testing ext3 and perhaps I missed some docs explaining how to convert system partition other than /, like /usr for example . As I have 2 Linux versions on my test machine, I managed to convert /usr by entering the mount -o journal=NNN command from the second OS, but I don't like it. Any suggestions or docs to look at? Thanks in advance Vieri

Fellow riders of the bleeding edge of ext3 technology, I've been playing with ext3 on my workstation. For the most part it has worked very well, but right now I have a non-functional system. I've got patches out the wazoo on this kernel - 2.2.18 + Alan's 2.2.19pre13 + ext3-0.0.6a + i2c-2.5.5 + lm_sensors-2.5.5 + udf-0.9.3. Here is the output I get: EXT3-fs: WARNING: recovery

I managed to install 0.5d today. Got all 3 of my mounts converted (even '/' though it was a pain in the ass). Now on boot, I see: mounted /dev/hda1 on / EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode and the exact same thing for /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb1. they all come up and appear to be working. so is this normal? Or did I manage to screw up somewhere? -- Douglas J. Hunley (Linux User

Hello, I downloaded yesterday the Red Hat 6.2 RPMs for openssl and openssh from one of the official mirrors. I could install them on a stock Red Hat 6.2 box because rpm -Uvh says (quoting from memory...): cannot install because there is dependency conflict between this rpm (openssh core) and the version of rpm and rpmlib that you are using...... In other words, the rpm packages generated

Hi there, I'm running Redhat Linux V8.0 using ext3 file system and I'm wondering what the maximum file size allowed is? I've got some potentially humunguous logfiles I need to store that could likely be around 4-8GB per day and just want to make sure I don't run into problems. TIA! Kevin Cavanagh

Hey there, I downloaded the Kernel Source 2.2.17 from the ext3 site, however I can't seem to figure out how these rpm's work (I don't like RPM's and I rather not use em either :-( no offense :-)) and I kinda miss the good old simple .tgz files which show me where they extract and I can compile myself n stuff. Anyways I tried rpm -iv <package name> then some stuff happened

...p, and so ext3 has been running on a losing wicket ever since... however even after the fsck (which obviously won't be able to fix everything if parted has broken things), I am still seeing the previous symptoms with TSM and perl Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham@InTechnology.co.uk ] [ Phone: +44 1423 850000 Fax +44 1423 858866 ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ] [ ----- Security is not an add-on -- security is a way of life ----- ]

Hello! I'm using i868 (Pentium III) machine running Windows 2000 and running Linux, installed on dedicated partition, in parallel via VMWare. Linux config is RedHat 7.0 (kernel ) As I'm pretty new to Linux, I'd like to know exact procedure how to install ext3 filesystem support (also which packages do I need). My kernel config is as follows: kernel-headers-2.2.14-5.0
