Hi, I have an ext3 file system created with -T largefile4 option. Now it is running out of inode but it's only about 10% full. - Is there a way now to increase the number of inode without making a new file system? - If not, I am thinking about shrinking the file system, and then use the free up space to create a new file system with more inodes,...

Hi, I have a doubt if I use the mke2fs option the right way. I formatted two different disks, one with $ mke2fs -b 4096 -E stride=16 -m 1 -T news /dev/sdd and the other with $ mke2fs -b 4096 -E stride=16 -m 1 -T largefile4 /dev/sde sdd is supposed to get files between 8k and 16k. sde will handle files with a fixed size of 32Mb. Then I tried this : $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mount-sdx/file bs=4k count=8192 for both /mount-sdd and /mount-sde My question is : when I do a "df", can see that 32Mb is used on each f...

Hi, I want to use an ext3 Partition (~1TB) for Mail Storage, this means tons of small files. Has anyone recommendations about blocksize, inodes, etc. for mkfs.ext3 ?

I've got a 3.3TB ext3 on a FC3 64-bit system, running kernel 2.6.10-1.766FC3smp. I create the partition with parted 1.6.21, and I make the fs via: mkfs.ext3 -m1 -b 4096 -T largefile4 /dev/sda1 Works fine. bonnie++ running on it multiple times for days on end, no problems. However, I do the exact same setup on a RHEL4-AS i686 system, 32-bit, and the fs is totally hosed, get all kinds of errors with the filesystem, just trying to mount it doesn't work. Crud, I blew away...

I'm currently working with a testing system that involves running mkfs.ext3 on some pretty large devices on a regular basis. This is getting fairly painful, and I was wondering if there was some way to speed this up. Understood that the end result might be a filesystem that has less of a safety factor (say, fewer superblock backups) but the tradeoff might be worth it in this case. David

Wow, it takes a really long time to make a 2TB ext2fs.
