Lo, Actualy i'm looking for documents about journalised file system, in order to be able to compare them self. I need accurate information if i want to make a good study. Thoses informations have to permit me to get answer about table like this : Features \ fs | xfs | ext3 | jfs | reiserfs | ------------------------------------------------- chattr | ? | Y | ? | ?

I've lurked on this list for a long time, and have learned many details on installing and using Ext3. Thanks! I'm finally posting to solicit feedback on my recently-published book on "Linux Filesystems". This book discusses the use, theory, and installation/integration of journaling and distributed filesystems on Linux, and also discusses what I call 'filesystem adapters'

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Sorry for this general question, but I'd like to hear your opinion on this subject, but I'd like to set up a really working backup solution for my PDC, currently it uses NFS, so there are lots of issues: No ACLs, When NFS server goes down, everything fails. What method would you recommend for replicating folders, keeping existing ACLs

Hi Stephen, We had some starvation/locks happening to us under very heavy load in two cases: - InterMezzo asked ext3 to do a journaled file write (for 1 block) essentially using ext3_write - similarly for truncate. These lockups went away when we started the transaction in InterMezzo and reserved somewhat more space than ext3 does. Any clues as to what this might be? Are the ext3

Hi list, I recently came up with the need for the storage, shared between two nodes; one would do all the r/w to it and the other would mount it r/o and serve it to the client boxen. I want to use ext3 in this setup, since i trust it the most. My question is: is this possible? How would the r/o node handle the metadata updates that the r/w node would be doing? If there is some fundamental

Hi, While doing some stress testing with presto module from the intermezzo project layered over ext3, I got the following assertion failure: Jan 17 23:09:55 planck kernel: Assertion failure in jfs_prelock_buffer_check() at journal.c line 410: "bh->b_jlist == 0 || bh->b_jlist == BJ_LogCtl || bh->b_jlist == BJ_IO || bh->b_jlist == BJ_Data" Jan 17 23:09:55 planck kernel:

hi all. just wondering if anyone has setup a samba cluster for speed/failover/redundency ? i'd love to hear from you... thanks -ipguy

Hi, I have a detailed question about ordered data writes. Suppose we (i.e. intermezzo) does a transaction, which is closed and then followed by an ordered write. Let's assume the ordered write doesn't require new allocation metadata. Is the write still postponed until the first transaction has committed? As far as I can see, prepare_write always starts a transaction, but I'm

Thanks John and Chris for your commentary. I''m constantly amazed at what is out there -- projects I didn''t know existed. I think Chris and I are looking for something similiar -- fault tolerant/high-availability over slow/fast links with ease of administration and (ideally) zero downtime. I''d like to virtualize my storage along with my Xen machines. After looking at

I am the author of BackupPC (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) and I am working on adding rsync support to BackupPC. I am implementing the server-side in perl, and the client will run vanilla rsync. (BTW, is there the protocol documented? I've answered all my questions by looking at the source, but it would be great to check against any docs.) I started with librsync 0.9.3 and the

Hi Alan, Would you be opposed to including an InterMezzo patch for the ac series soon? It doesn't touch anything outside of its fs directory. It would probably help us get a few more users and fits nicely with ext3 being in ac now. We are also quite far along Reiser support for InterMezzo. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks! - Peter -

I'd recomend drbd over a nbd + raid solution: * drbd knows to read from local device only so

Hi, We have encountered another funny with ext3 on 2.4. Like the kernel NFS server, we have a routine in InterMezzo that does something like looking up an inode by inode number. (compare intermezzo's presto_ilookup or knfsd's nfsfh_iget) Effectively both of these routines do ilookup() { inode = iget(sb, ino) if (inode->i_nlink==0) iput(inode); .... } We find that

The problem is that then the same people then start complaining about my "oversimplification." In fact, that's part of the problem here.

I need to maintain a log that contains information on files that are read / modified . I was suggested losf, but using lsof does not solve the problem as files opened/closed between two successive runs will always be missed. With reference to the stated need I have 2 Questions. 1) can data in the journal file be of any help to me ? if yes how, ? 2) can kjournald be used in some way ?
