similar to: ext3 efficiency, larger vs smaller file system, lots of inodes...

How big is a file that e2fsck considers it to be a large file? 814611 blocks used (42.79%) 0 bad blocks 1 large file <----- that Thanks John Nelson

How can you know beforehand, without running fsck, that all inodes are used of a particular ext3 filesystem? Default systemtools use output from df, which shows only a 50% usage of the filesystem, and pretend nothing is wrong, while you really cant't move or copy a file to it. So I only found out when running fsck. This is my output from fsck (RH7.2, stock kernel, stock? ext3): root# fsck

Today, I had to uncleanly shutdown one of our machines due to an error in 2.6.28.3. Durin the boot sequence, the ext4 partition /home experienced a journal replay. /home looks like this: /dev/mapper/volg1-logv1 on /home type ext4 (rw,noexec,nodev,noatime,errors=remount-ro) Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/volg1-logv1 2,4T 1,4T 1022G 58% /home Filesystem

Hello, yesterday I experienced following problem with my ext3 filesystem: - I had ext3 filesystem of the size of a few TB with journal. I correctly unmounted it and it was marked clean. - I then ran fsck.etx3 -f on it and it did not find any problem. - After increasing size of its LVM volume by 1.5 TB I resized the filesystem by resize2fs lvm_volume and it finished without problem. - But

Hi all, Somehow I managed to mess with a RAID array containing an ext3 partition. Parenthesis, if it matters: I disconnected physically a drive while the array was online. Next thing, I lost the right order of the drives in the array. While trying to re-create it, I overwrote the raid superblocks. Luckily, the array was RAID5 degraded, so whenever I re-created it, it didn't go into sync;

Hi, it seems you got it right! I don't know if you read email I sent you before posting to the mailing list, but I accidentally diagnosed the cause... :) I've noticed that inodes fsck warned me about, at least ones that I checked, all have all four timestamps latest in 2010... The filesystem has maximum 1281998848 inodes, which is timestamp in august 2010. I don't know how it got

With kernel 2.6.30-rc2-git6 and prior I am having problems mounting ext4 partitions after reboot. A successful mount looks like this: /dev/cciss/c0d0p8 on /squid-cache0 type ext4 (rw,noexec,nodev,noatime,data=writeback,errors=panic) /dev/cciss/c0d0p9 on /squid-cache1 type ext4 (rw,noexec,nodev,noatime,data=writeback,errors=panic) /dev/cciss/c0d0p10 on /squid-data type ext4

I had a busy mailserver fail on me the other day. Below is what was printed in dmesg. We first suspected a hardware failure (raid controller or something else), so we moved the drives to another (identical hardware) machine and ran fsck. Fsck complained ("short read while reading inode") and asked if I wanted to ignore and rewrite (which I did). After booting up again, the problem came

Hi, yesterday I ran e2fsck -n on a mounted file system and got: /dev/sdb1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. According to Ted, the lines that followed were not to be trusted due to the fact that the file system was mounted. But this error statement suggests to run a check with the fs unmounted. Today, we scheduled a downtime and ran the check. It came of completely clean: ~:

I am having problems when using a Dell PowerVault MD3000 with multipath from a Dell PowerEdge 1950. I have 2 cables connected and mount the partition on the DAS Array. I am using RHEL 4.4 with RHCS and a two node cluster. Only one node is "Active" at a time, it creates a mount to the partition, and if there is an issue RHCS will fence the device and then the other node will mount the

Hi, can anyone give me an example of when an fsck would repair something that the ext3 driver would not? with full "data=journal" journaling, would fsck ever need to be run if all the partitions were ext3? the ext3 mini-howto refers to "certain rare hardware failure cases (e.g. hard drive failures)" that would require a filesystem check, but doesn't go into details.

Hi, I have an ext3 file system created with -T largefile4 option. Now it is running out of inode but it's only about 10% full. - Is there a way now to increase the number of inode without making a new file system? - If not, I am thinking about shrinking the file system, and then use the free up space to create a new file system with more inodes, and move the data over. Since I am

Thanks for you help. I also tried adding some other informations as you suggest: I can also take into account: - "Reserved block count: XXXXXXX" from tune2fs that gives me the number of blocks reserved for root - Reserved GDT blocks: XXX But I didn't thought about the FS journal. How can I gather information about it? (it's size and any other information?) 2013/9/16

Hi, I have a system with an ext4 filesystem with its journal on an other device (an SSD). Now this SSD dropped of the sata bus so the filesystem went r/o. I would like to remove the journal but it says it can't because needs_check is set. I can't run fsck because the journal is not reachable. Is there any way to solve this? I understand I lost any pending changes in the journal. regards

[ Tried to check the archives but the website seems to be down or something ] On one of our installations, I am seeing messages such as: EXT3-fs warning (device ide0(3,9))): ext3_free_inode: bit already clearned for inode 14 Anybody know exactly what they mean?

Hi, i am seeing something interesting since the upgrade to 2.2.19/0.0.7a - I am experimenting with the am930 wireless driver and i am crashing on module exit.

Hi, I thought that I would attempt a quick little patch that will make btrfsck into a No-op when called as fsck.btrfsck. The reasoning is that the FAQ states that it is recommended and safe to do so, and the current 12.04 version of Ubuntu just symlinks fsck.btrfsck to btrfsck instead of /bin/true. PS - Apologies if I mess this git send-email up! Dan McGrath (1): btrfs-progs: No-op when
