similar to: Kernel panic in ext3:dx_probe, help needed

Hi, I have updated the kernel to 2.4.21-27.0.2 on Centos 3.4 (was 3.3 when I did the kernel update) and have modified grub.conf to use the single CPU kernel: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. #

Hello, there, Happy new year everyone! I am puzzled here. Could some expert help me shed some light on this? this may not be a centos specific Q.. i have a linux machine. and the root partition (/) is full.. so I moved a dir from /data to /var (/var is on a different partition), and created a link from /data/fa to /var/xyz, the files under /var/xyz is about 8G, du /var/fa 8701248

I am running into performance issues with ext3. Historically we had our image files (pictures of cars, currently 5.3 million) sub divided into a directory structure [0-9]/[0-9]/[0-9]/[0-9], where we would take the first 4 letters/numbers of the file name and use that to put it into this structure. Letters [a-cA-C] would become a 0, [d-fD-F] a 1, etc. As the file names used to be based on VIN

Hi all, I have a disk of 146Gb in a machine intended to have mainly mysql database, apache and some web data.? I didn't use LVM for / and /boot during the installtion Could I extend? easily in the future the /var partition? when I add another disk? ?Filesystem??????????? Size? Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p6????? 23G? 432M?? 22G?? 2% / /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

Hello, How to upgrade existing ext3 partition to new features? Moved from RHEL3 to RHEL4. I had to install from c0d0p6 so partition could not be reformated during install.

We just installed a new cluster with 6 HP DL380g5, dual single port Qlogic 24xx HBAs connected via two HP 4/16 Storageworks switches to a 3Par S400. We are using the 3Par recommended config for the Qlogic driver and device-mapper-multipath giving us 4 paths to the SAN. We do see some SCSI errors where DM-MP is failing a path after get a 0x2000 error from the SAN controller, but the path gets puts

Hi all, I have 4 glusterd servers running a single glusterfs volume. The volume was created using the gluster command line, with no changes from default. The same machines all mount the volume using the native glusterfs client: [root at localhost ~]# gluster volume create datastore replica 2 transport tcp 192.168.253.1:/glusterfs/primary 192.168.253.3:/glusterfs/secondary

Hello, I am desperately trying to get pci-passthrough to working.

Dear Samba community, I am facing the following problem. I have the following share in my /etc/samba/smb.conf: [external] comment = "External Hard Drive" path = /mnt/external read only = no Sometimes it happens that external hard drive fails.

Hi In ext3_get_parent(), quick string (struct qstr) can do the job, in place of declaring a dentry on stack. Following patch does this and saves few bytes on kernel stack.

In 1.6.0, when creating a MDT, you could specify multiple --mgsnode options and it would failover between them. 1.6.3 only seems to take the last one and --mgsnode=192.168.1.252 at o2ib:192.168.1.253 at o2ib doesn''t seem to failover to the other node. Any ideas how to get around this? Robert Robert LeBlanc College of Life Sciences Computer Support Brigham Young University leblanc at

I hope this is the right list. I have created an ext2 filesystem and removed the dir_index feature. I don't know if this kind of experimentation is going to help me learn something about filesystems or not. Well what is dir_index? Then I ran e2fsck -f -v -pD and the /dev file. Now what did I remove? Htree. I guess it can always be put back and it's on an experimental filesystem.

All, I would like to run the following issue past the list to confirm that my problem analysis makes sense or whether I missed something: We have a HP ML370G6 server with VT-x and VT-d enabled in the BIOS. It is equipped with two Smart Array HBAs - one connected to the HDD array (SmartArray P800) and one connected to an LTO tape drive (SmartArray P212). Both controllers use the same driver

We got a remote Oracle 10g R2 standby running on OCFS2. Initial when we started the standby, read I/O was < 5MB/sec on average. Since then it has grown to over 40MB/sec (longer average, it peaks much higher). Here is a graph showing this: http://www.alameda.net/~ulf/dbphx01.png We also have a local standby running (on EXT3) which is not showing the same symptom. I am trying to find where all

Hi all, I''m trying to run the mrblog sample application but somehow the rake task fails: -- Los-Angeles:~/Projects/mrblog Ulf$ rake db:schema:load --trace (in /Users/Ulf/Projects/mrblog) rake aborted!

We upgraded our production database cluster (6 node) from EL4 Update 5 to EL5 Update 5, including upgrading OCFS2 from 1.2.9 to 1.4.4. We are now noticing slowdown of batch jobs in Oracle, while hotbackup runs faster. One thing we saw is that journal mode changed from write-back to ordered, as we don't specify journal mode during mount. Oracle sees this as slowdown based on higher IO latency,

I decided that I would try out 2.5.44, and I noticed that htree was merged. If I don't do the tune2fs -O dir_index, and e2fsck -D, the (exisintg) fs won't use htree, right? Once I do the tune2fs and e2fsck, will I still be able to go back to a non-htree kernel if needed? (Will a htree-ized fs work on a non-htree kernel?) I'm guessing that it won't. I've seen a 2.4 htree

I've been thinking recently that we should re-enable DIR_INDEX in mke2fs by default. When it first came out, we had done this and were bitten by a few bugs in the code. However, this code has been in heavy use for several thousand filesystem years in Lustre, if not elsewhere, and I'm inclined to think it is pretty safe these days. Likewise, RHEL/FC have had RESIZE_INODE as a standard

We are setting up 2 new EL5 U4 machines to replace our current database servers running our demo environment. We use 3Par SANs and their snap clone options. The current production system we snap clone from is EL4 U5 with ocfs2 1.2.9, the new servers have ocfs2 1.4.3 installed. Part of the refresh process is to run fsck.ocfs2 on the volume to recover, but right now as I am trying to run it on our

Hi, I enabled dir_index on a filesystem and dumpe2fs -h also reports this. My understanding is that this will be used for newly created directories and that old directories can be indexed using "fsck.ext2 -D". Two questions: - Is there a way to tell is a given directory is indexed or not? - Is there a better way to index the root fs than to boot off a live CD? Best, Norbert
