(Though i' not sure how people ready to buy it :) ) I have written few tools and planning to write more(by giving up current non-linux & boring job). I want to know,which license will allow me to sell tools/softwares? (I hope to sell the products through online) Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G www.giis.co.in

Hi - Updated my old project named "ext3carve" and renamed it as "extcarve" . It uses libext2fs. (To be precise,re-uses on 'debugfs' command's "dump_unused" feature) In summary,the tool will do the following - It will scan the linux machine ,for unused/deleted blocks and search for magic signatures. If it finds valid signature (both header and footer) It

We have a script that adds corruption to ext2/3/4 filesystems and runs e2fsck on it. It definitely could be improved, but it still catches some occasional errors: http://git.whamcloud.com/?p=tools/e2fsprogs.git;a=commit;h=aee44c669bebe29bfdb8a1c86da443234f8bc257 It tries to format the filesystem with different features and options, then adds corruption from both random data and copying parts of

Hi - Though I'm not sure whether anyone will be interested in such tool (other than a possible SO user [1]).

Hi - I'm searching for file system corruption tool, say it inject disk-errors like multiply owned blocks etc. Later an integrity scan process (like e2fsck) will verify on-disk layout and fix these errors. I'd like to read/understand such tools before writing one for an proprietary on-disk file system. Do we have such tools for ext{2,3,4}fs ? Thanks for any help or pointers! -- ----

hi all, The reason why writting this mail--i don't know how to name a tool written by myself :-) Following is the functionality of a file system tool : When you install the tool it acts as a protection for your files.Tool copies the address of files. If you accidently deleted a file -if its contents are not modified-then the tool retrives the contents of file. How should i call this tool./

Hi, We have three machines (server-A and server-B and client) and mounted server-A (6GB) and Server-B(6GB) under client (/mnt/) as 12GB with unify option. Then we have stopped glusterfs on Server-A.Now client side df command shows 6GB. Now,while trying to create files under /mnt produces this error message "Transport endpoint is not connected" Server-A is still down - Is it possible

Hi, I am writing a piece of code to open a raw image file of a virtual machine which has ubuntu installed in it. The virtual disk is formatted using MBR partitioning method and has 3 primary and 1 extended partition. I want to open up that file and read the block group descriptor table and inode table for each partition. I have written some lines of code and successfully able to read the

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9535653/file-rename-on-ext3-appears-to-break-posix-spec I posted the above to stackoverflow - I am running a test does repeated file renames to a target file in one thread, and repeatedly reads that target file in another thread. This works fine except when there is a hard-link to the file being renamed to the target file. In this case the reading thread hits

Hi All, Whenever an EXT3 partition is created some space is reserved for super-user, I used the mkfs.ext3 with option -m set to 0, but there is no effect it still reserve the space.

Hello, We have run and stopped by chance command "fsck -y" on one of our raid disks (with ext3 file system). After that we have found that SOME files disappeared (they are not seen in the directories where they have been before). The data are extremely important and contain a lot of programs, scripts for some data analysis and very hard to recover by hands. I have run ''fsck

After a (hardware) crash yesterday, I was unable to boot up due to unrecoverable ide errors (according to the printk()s) when accessing the root filesystem's journal for recovery. Unable to recover, I tried deleting the has_journal option, but that was disallowed given that the needs_recovery flag was set. I saw no way to unset that flag. Unable to access the backups (they were on a fw

Hello all I have two sets of eIDE hard drives from earlier servers, one centos & one fedora. Both were LVM volumes with three or four physical disks, with ext3 fs. One disk, maybe even the boot one may even be missing, either from one or both sets and we do not know the disk order. I got these left from an earlier sysadmin who left the company & nobody know what's what. I need to

Hi Bodo and Ted, Thank you both for your responses; they confirm what I thought might be the case. Knowing that I can try to proceed with your suggestions.

Our main NFS-server, running Debian Potato, died this morning whilst under quite heavy load - due to a runaway perl-script forking of some 200 instances of "/bin/cp" (the load was ~ 50). The server is running 2.2.19pre14 with ext3-0.0.6b. The server is running kernel-nfs. Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata() at transaction.c line 796: "bh->b_next_transaction ==
