hello: I have been reviewin my message slog and have found the following message: Dec 19 06:27:28 server02 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,7)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28 What is error 28 and should I be worried about it? Ray Turcotte

I need to find out what the maximum file size in an ext2/3 file system. It appears from the definition of the ext2_inode structure that since the i_size field is a 32 bit integer that the file would be limited by that. Thanks, Jason

Hi guys, Is there any way to mount an ext3 fs that is on ro media? I get an error: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. EXT3-fs: write access unavailable, cannot proceed. Specifically this is with an LVM snapshot.

I decided to start using ext3. My kernel 2.4.15p9. I downloaded and build util-linux-2.11m and e2fsprogs 1.25. I compiled ext3 in the kernel. I started converting my filesystems and thing went ok for the first few. I then started getting the following on each additional filesystem. [root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hdc4 tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001) Creating journal inode: done This filesystem

Hello folks, I had an ext3 filesystem mounted as the root of a Linux MOO server. Unfortunately, the filesystem was on one of the infamous DTLA-3070xx drives - and the drive decided to fail at the worst moment it possibly could, trashing the filesystem fairly well. The situation is as follows: I used dd_rescue to create an image of what is left of the filesystem, but I ended up with some 65MB

hi all, I intend to write a snapshot module for Ext2/3 file-systems. For that i need to make sure that FS is in consistent state before taking snapshot. For ex. in case of UFS, the superblock has a fs_clean flag which is set to be FSSTABLE to tell that its in consistent state. (otherwise its set to FSACTIVE) I m not able to find any such information for Ext2/Ext3. (The

Hello: We trying to configure one machine (Compaq Proliant ML760) with 8 disks (72GB each disk) with RAID. We are thinking to use ext3 and LVM in RedHat 7.2 for manage one filesystem with 500GB. This filesystems have to store near off 5.000.000 of files. Is this possible? Could I resize the filesystems/volume to 1TB? what are the ext3 and LVM limits? someone have tested sismilar environment? I

Hi, Just thought I'd share some test results of mine in case anyone is interested. Basically the tests are siumulating what our product does with files - although the tests do it a lot quicker (not as many files though). The test is to create 1 million files (each containing the text of the file number) spread over a number of directories. The files are then removed in the same manner as

After a (hardware) crash yesterday, I was unable to boot up due to unrecoverable ide errors (according to the printk()s) when accessing the root filesystem's journal for recovery. Unable to recover, I tried deleting the has_journal option, but that was disallowed given that the needs_recovery flag was set. I saw no way to unset that flag. Unable to access the backups (they were on a fw

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Searching in the ext3 filesystem mailing list I have seen that there is an indexed directory extension for it. Is this extension stable code ?

Hi, I am getting the following errors on /boot partition on a production server running 2.4.18 kernel. ------------- Aug 10 00:19:37 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,1)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #2: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 ------------- /boot is not readable at all and attempt to do an ls will return the same error.

Hi, I recently upgraded one of my fileservers from 2.4.16 to 2.4.18 plus the ext3-cvs.patch that Andrew Morton pointed me to for addressing and assertion failure. Since then I have been getting lots of errors like: May 21 14:07:03 glass kernel: EXT3-fs error (device md(9,0)): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #2945366: rec_len %% 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1886221359, rec_len=24927,

Hi, I have an ext3 file system on top of LVM and i use journaled mode. I would like to make a snapshot of my filesystem while the application is running in order to backup on another physical storage. For that i have to create an LVM snapshot and then to mount it in read-only for copying the content. This is not possible as far as ext3 needs to do a log replay at mount time ( AFAIK). I would

We are running Zope behind Squid 2.4Stable6 with squid in acceleration mode. The squid box (dual Pentium III 1 GHz, RH 7.2, Linux 2.4.9-21smp, 2GB Ram) has during busy hours a normal load of 0.2-0.3 . From time to time we see spikes over some hours where the load average of the machine is higher than 1.5 although there are no spikes in the CPU utilization. Also there is no increase in the number

hello, i am a newbie to this list and i don't know if this has been posted before (if so, plzz accept my apologies) i just noticed a nice mini-howto on ext2-ext3 conversion at http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/index.html i think that maybe a link can be added to this after the download section... cheers Sayamindu *********************************************************************

Hello to everybody here, We have a strange problem with ext3. df reports 28 of 30 GB to be used (rest may be slack) which it calls 100% used. But with du we can only find 13 GB, most of it actually in pretty large files (archives). Where are the other 17 GB gone?
