Hello! I have some questions about external journals. On a 4 disk software RAID 5 I have two big devices (one 60 GB, one 180 GB). I would like to give each an external journal on a 2 disk software RAID 1 device and use data=journal. The journal will get its own partition with mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/mdwhatever. The used 6 harddrives are all IDE drives, they are connected through

...hould I specify it? I created the journal with mke2fs /dev/md22 -O journal_dev and the ext3 filesystem with mke2fs -j /dev/md12 -J device=/dev/md22. Thanks again, Norman Schmidt. -- -- Norman Schmidt Universitaet Erlangen-Nuernberg _ cand.chem. Sysadmin Wohnheimnetzwerk RatNET _ // mailto:schmidt@naa.net \X/

This patch fixes an inefficiency and potential system lockup in the 2.4 kernel's ext3 filesystem. The problem has been present since 2.4.20-pre5. This patch is applicable to 2.4.20. A copy is at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.4/2.4.20/ext3-scheduling-storm.patch Anyone who is using tasks which have realtime scheduling policy on ext3 systems should apply this change.
