...nux kernel is much faster (even though I had enabled write cache when I was using ext3). So what's some highlights on Ext3 vs. ReiserFS? I guess the Ext2 compability is one large factor for using Ext3, but otherwise? _____________________________________________________ | Martin Eriksson <nitrax@giron.wox.org> | MSc CSE student, department of Computing Science | Umeå University, Sweden

Hi I am running kernel 2.4.13 with ext3 support on an embedded system with 64 MB Flash and the .journal file takes size as 4 MB. Is it possible to minimize the .journal file ? With best regards/ Med venlig hilsen John Nørgaard

Hi, Also I do have some problems mounting an ext3fs which gets just mounted as an ext2fs. (Yeap, I looked a little bit around in the mailling list and found similiar problems which haven't help me ;-( ) I have a root ( /) and a /mnt partition. both are converted via tune2fs -j into a journaled fs. my fstab looks like this: /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults

Hello, I'm new in ext3. I installed RH7.2 with ext3. For a short time it worked properly, but when I compiled the linux kernel (2.4.9-13) from RH package, the old kernel didn't boot again (I didn't change anything with the old binary). I downloaded kernel 2.4.14 and ext3 patch for this version. After the compilation and installation I rebooted the system. I got answer something

Hello, I converted my / partition to ext3 from ext2 today, and I'm using kernel 2.4.13+ext3 patch I used tune2fs -j and set the filesystem to auto in fstab, and compiled ext2 as well as ext3 in the kernel Upon rebooting, I tried df -hT to see if it had worked, and to my surprise it didn't list my root partition dmesg say it's fine (and btw everything works fine) kjournald

Some interesting results: copy of 500MB file 'time cp file file.new' ext3, -d1 -c1 -m16 -u1 -W1 real 1m42.435s user 0m0.220s sys 0m17.740s ext3, -d1 -c1 -m16 -u0 -W0 real 2m24.970s user 0m0.210s sys 0m18.780s ext3, -d1 -c1 -m16 -u0 -W1 real 1m52.677s user 0m0.290s sys 0m17.950s So basically my question is; do I loose all benefits of ext3 if I turn on the hard disk

Just wanted to note that you also need "mount" => 2.11 to use "auto" in fstab. On the homepage http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ it only tells you to use "util-linux" => 2.11 Also, a note about SILO not working with unclean Ext3 would be nice (i.e. make a dedicated ext2 /boot partition if you want to run ext3 on Sparc). /Martin (very new to this list)
