Hello, I converted one of my servers to ext3 and load average numbers went up. Now they are ~2-3 while on ext2 LA was <0.4. And I'm constantly seeing processes and kjournald in D state. vmstat confirms that. But even in such LA CPUs are ~99% idle. What can be wrong? RedHat 7.1 kernel 2.4.18-18.7.xsmp. SCSI cards: Compaq RAID array controller (cciss) and Q Logic ISP1020 (isp_mod).

Right now I'm building a 2.4.17 kernel on an HPPA Linux system. The kernel it ships with supports ext2 only. Has anybody tried ext3 on HPPA? -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus Virchow-Klinikum Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Referat V A - Kommunikationsnetze - Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-916 "A man who won't die for something is not fit to live." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hello, Is there some document about ext3 performance tuning and choosing the right type and size of journal? Except RedHat's white paper. From what I read I understood that for typical operations data=ordered is prefered. For the cases when there are many writes not appending to files data=journal is the choice. And if I want to get the most performance or in case where program is doing

Where can I find a patch for ext3 fs for kernel-2.4.2. Currently I'm using RH7.1 I dont want to upgrade to RH7.2!!! I just want to applay the ext3 patch for kernel-2.4.2 compile and use it. Thanks in advance! Sanat

I am using kernel 2.4 and ext3 fs on all partitions. I recently suffered a power outage while working on some documents. Some of them had previously been saved other had not. In either case none of the new data was restored. I am also finding other strange disapearrances like bookmarks and panel applets. My understanding of the ext3 fs is that these documents should have been restored
