similar to: workaround for 'hang on exit' bug does not seem to work

I asked Ted about his patch for ext3 and ext2 and this is his response. I am not sure if his post will reach lkml since it's sent to vger.rutgers.edu IMHO, With the amount of work Andrew has done to make ext3 usable for MTA applications, Ted's work would make ext3 even better for MTA apps sinc both Postfix/qmail use 'find' in their control-scripts and queue statistics program

I had sent email to Andrea asking him if his blkdev-in-pagecache might cause the recent reports about ulimits being applied to block devices. This is his response which he asked me to forward to ext3-users since he can't post being a non-subscriber BTW, Redhat should whitelist various kernel hackers email address on their mailserver so that they can post freely to various lists Regards,

A playback of a mono vorbis track on a system using the i810 audio driver via ogg123 results in a double speed playback (chipmunk sound). It seems that this chipset doesn't support mono and while xmms seems to compensate for it, ogg123 doesn't I have a bugzilla report at redhat.com filed on this with more details https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90433 Regards, Yusuf

Hi, I am using openssh 2.1.1pl4 on a Linux 2.2.16 box [RH 6.1 distribution], I was confused as to why when I telnet into that box, I get /usr/local/bin in my PATH but when I ssh into my box, /usr/local/bin is not in my PATH I modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config to have UseLogin yes and then when I try to ssh into that box, I couldn't. ssh -v showed the following debug: Requesting shell. debug:

postfix-users seems to be a subscription only list. I'd recommend incorporating TDMA <http://tdma.sf.net/> to allow for easy discussion by outsiders Andrew Morton (of ext3 fame) had sent this message to postfix-users list I am forwarding so that Wietse can hopefully provide the definitive answer to the question Andrew Morton/Stephen Tweedie seek ----- Forwarded message from Andrew

Postfix <http://www.postfix.org> does a chattr +S on its spool directory when it is installed on Linux. This is what is written in the postfix startup script -- # # LINUX by default does not synchronously update directories - # that's dangerous for mail. # if [ -f /usr/bin/chattr ] then CHATTR="/usr/bin/chattr +S" else CHATTR=echo fi -- Is this still required on ext3 ?

That seems to be the indication given by this webpage http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html However, default install of Redhat 7.2 setsup fs_passno(6th field of /etc/fstab) as 2 which asks you if you want to run fsck after an unclean shutdown The question is, is fsck required after an unclean shutdown or should one just rely on journal replay. What does fsck do when it sees an

Hi, I have the following line in $HOME/.ssh/config Protocol 2,1 I run OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 on my RH 7.0 box running 2.2.18. I am trying to ssh into a FreeBSD 4.2-stable box which runs OpenSSH 2.2.0. The account I am trying to ssh into has two files in $HOME/.ssh authorized_keys and authorized_key2 which contains RSA and DSA keys respectively. >From my RH 7.0 machine, I do the following ssh -v

man chattr mentions the following [on RH 7.2] A file with the `i' attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to this file and no data can be written to the file. Only the superuser can set or clear this attribute The .journal file has the following properties ---i-d------- ../.journal As such, I am confused as to how data to the journal can

Hi, I installed RH 7.1/e2fsprogs 1.22 and util-linux 2.11f on a box with a 3ware 6200 and 2 20GB IDE drives and then installed 2.4.7 and ext3 0.9.5 I unmounted all the filesystems except / and did a tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 -j <device> on all the remaining filesystems This created a journal with a hidden file. >From what I recollect, doing a tune2fs on a mounted fs creates .journal file.

My reading of the kernel.src.rpm doesn't indicate that Severn has ext3 htree patches. Stephen, were there any issues seen during Cerberus testing ? Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com

Hi, The following discussion was posted to comp.security.ssh however, it seems that my problems may be a bug in SSH. Could someone please indicate whether there is a bug fix, or perhaps whether I should go back a version or so. In summary: - Win98 machine (client) - OpenSSH as packaged with Cygwin tools 1.1.8 (openssh-2.5.2p2-3) - Connecting to a Sun running Solaris. ssh: SSH Secure Shell

While browsing through bash's hugh manpage, I noticed that it has a 'huponexit' option which will send SIGHUP to all interactive processes when the shell exits. I have tested this and it does resolve the hanging at logout without causing race conditions. I now have a "shopt -s huponexit" in my /etc/bashrc and it works beautifully. -d -- | ``We've all heard that a

I have purchased a license for Vexira MailArmor (an antivirus product) and the good news is that it is installed and working at shorewall.net. The bad news is that I have yet to get Vexira running together with SpamAssassin :-( As things currently stand, list posts will be protected from viruses but may contain Spam. I''ll continue to work to correct this situation. -Tom -- Tom Eastep

For the last several years, I have been using Vexira MailArmor (http://www.centralcommand.com) for anti-virus protection on the mail server here at Shorewall.net. While Vexira is an excellent product and I have been very happy with it, it costs me $300US/year for a one-domain license. To avoid this expense, I have decided to try ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net). I have installed ClamAV and since my

Hello Darren, The major problem we are running into is that the shell (both sh and ksh) does not kill its child processes when there is no pty. The SSH patch mentioned previously at http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396 is not sufficient to kill the forced command completely.It will only kill the shell script, but not any child processes the shell script runs. The shell assumes the

The RHL 6.2 command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start" prevents clean logout from compiled version of OpenSSH-2.5.1p1 on all hosts. The command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop" is OK. This occurs for interactive or command line requests. ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop --- works every time ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start --- hangs every time Control-C will

Hi, I was wondering if anybody was using a UMEM <http://www.umem.com/> NVRAM card [the MM5415 family] as an external journal for ext3. According to the help text in 2.6.7 config, it doesn't have a major number assigned so it chooses one dynamically. It suggests to use 'devfs' (which I thought was deprecated in 2.6.x) or look in /proc/devices. I was wondering if anybody was using
