Hi, I need clarifications on how to sell linux tools. (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 all, I wrote a program which recovers deleted file from Ext3/Ext2 FS.It's like crash proof program.For past few months i'm trying hard to get feedback or comments or criticizm on the tool.I hope to get from you. The link is , https://sourceforge.net/projects/giis/ Warm Regards, Lakshmipathi.G

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 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./

Hello. I found bugs on error handlings in the functions arround the ext3 file system, which cause inadequate completions of synchronous write I/O operations when disk I/O failures occur. Both 2.4 and 2.6 have this problem. I carried out following experiment: 1. Mount a ext3 file system on a SCSI disk with ordered mode. 2. Open a file on the file system with O_SYNC|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT

Hello, I have some performance problems in a file server system. It is used as Samba and NFS file server. I have some ideas what might cause the problems, and I want to try step by step. First I have to learn more about these areas. First I have some questions about tuning/sizing the ext3 journal. The most extensive list I found on ext3 performance tuning is

Hi All, I m a novice developer of Linux applications. Recently I faced a file system corruption. (I guess) I have a Kernel 2.4.7-10 with ext3 file system in compact flash. The system was up for 3 months and was running with average load conditions. One fine day, it just started sending kernel messages on the serial console. The message was like this. EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)):

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

Mandrake Linux 9.0 here: I installed alsa-utils from CD1 with MCC:Software Install: in /var/log/syslog these error messages appeared (SEE BELOW): "XT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)): ext3_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 294914" Then I rebooted (because I wanted to boot in runlevel 3 to see whether I could play sound..., not relevant here). Error bootmessages appeared

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, 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

This patch fixes the data loss which can occur when unmounting a data=journal ext3 filesystem. The core problem is that the VFS doesn't tell the filesystem enough about what is happening. ext3 _needs_ to know the difference between regular memory-cleansing writeback and sync-for-data-integrity purposes. (These two operations are really quite distinct, and the kernel has got it wrong for

Hello, a system here stopped because it had a hardware problem. We rebooted it and have now the following problem: The data disk /dev/hde1 is formatted as ext3. Obviously one of the inodes is bad and we get a lot of lines: Truncating prphaned inode 8863987 (uid=0, gid=0, mode=0100644, size=742) when running fsck. These lines have always the same values (inode, mode, ... are equal) and ar enow
