Hi, We have recently switched from XFS to ext3 do to various corruption scenarios that were witnessed. Does ext3 have something like xfs_growfs for growing the FS to the end of the underlying partition? Thanks, Menny

Hi, I try to convert my RedHat 7.3. partitions from ext3 to ext2. I have found a thread dealing with this issue. Thus: "tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/foo" and "e2fsck /dev/foo" will do the magic! This works fine for "/boot" but when I try to convert "/" my kernel panics? The kernel panics message appears shortly after the attempt to startup kjournald. How

I accidentally removed an ext3 partition from the partition table. I know roughly where it started. Is there any way of finding the superblock and reconstructing it? TIA, Dave (Yes I have a backup of the important stuff!)

i have a question on ext3 modes and am not sure if this list is still active

I'm getting ready to add some memory to a server running RH7.3 with ext3. I'm going to need to add more space to the swap partition and so I'll also need to resize an ext3 partition. I've seen some posts by searching the list that the resize2fs should work fine, but the man pages don't mention anything about ext3. Version is: resize2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Has anyone actually

Hi, I get the error "Operation not permitted" when I try to delete a file as root, see some commands below. - there is no "i" attribute - it's a problem with the files and not the upper directories since I can delete a similar file in the same directory - fsck -f doesn't find any error on the partition - the partition is mounted rw If this is not the right place to

I've been running RH 72 on my Dell at work. Since I use more than one system and I test things, I forgot that I had the root partition as ext3. That machine has two kernels on it. One is the stock 2.4.7 RH 72 and the other is the new 2.4.17 that I compiled last week. This morning I logged in and typed startx. The kernel responed by coughing up a lung and segfaulted. Couldn't run any

I tried it on loop. 1. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test -t ext3 2. cp files to 100% full 3. umount /mnt/test 4. fsck.ext3 -f /dev/loop0 Inode xxxxx, i_blocks is xxx, should be yyy. Fix?

I am trying to use data=journal on my root file system. I have separate slices on which journal=data works fine on all of them, except root. I have tried putting rootflags=journal=data on my kernel line in Grub, but I get a kernel panic. I'm missing something simple, I jut know it. It can't be the kernel version because it works on the other slices. My etc/fstab file is as follows:

Hi there, I am very new in linux and met the filesystem problem as described in the following, I tried to use 'fsck' and tried to find some support documents but failed. Your hints and helps are very appreciated. Millions of thanks, Annie The error message is (sorry for it's length, I just want to make it clear) ====================================================================

Just now I ran tune2fs -j on the root filesystem of a box running 2.6.0-test8. Then I edited /etc/fstab and changed the FS type to from ext2 to ext3, saved the file, and invoked vim on the file again. A few moments after this, the box hung. Unfortunately X was running at the time, and so I don't have any messages to cite. Is this a known problem?
