Hello, it seems I am having a problem with loop mounting on ext3. I am doing this: - make an ext2 filesystem in a file - loop mount this file - write into the loop mounted file system - umount the file Sometimes this works; occasionally the file remains empty after the umount. A sync before the umount seems to help. Is this a known problem? Thanks, Andreas.

Hello everyone, I came back from a long vacation the other day to a RH 7.3 system that would not boot. My situation is similar to Eddy's post "Seriously corrupt ext3 root filesystem - help?" from a couple of days ago. I can mount the drive in read-write and read-only modes.

I`m sorry to post that topic again, but i propose to implement a way to recover information deleted in ext3 (undeletion) in my graduation class, and i want to know your opinion and suggestions about that.

Some feedback. I'd been having trouble with rsync hanging or early EOF timeouts. Problem occurred on 2 identical receiving machines. I upgraded from Linux kernel 2.4.2 (RH 7.1) to 2.4.7 on the receiving machines. Sender machines are standard Linux RH 6.1 and RH 6.2 kernel.. Receiving machines are Duron 900Mhz 256 Mb software-raid1 ext2 2x40Gb. This improved the situation but still gave

Hi folks, I'm in really big trouble with ext3. At about every second reboot I have files changed on my ext3 filesystem! In most cases I realize that sshd didn't start, and after examination I found that /usr/sbin/sshd or /lib/libutil-x.y.so changed. But when I reboot, everything seems OK. I looked once into the binary, and find parts of syslog in it!!! Horror! And this is a ususal
