similar to: [Q] How can the directory location to dd output affect performance?

I created a filesystem as follows: mke2fs -j -O dir_index -O sparse_super -T largefile /dev/drbd/6 Here's the the output from df Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% /dev/drbd/6 475G 33M 452G 1% It seems that ext3 has taken 23 GB, which is about 5% of the total disk size, for itself. Is that right? If that is, indeed, the case, why does df just list 33M as being

If I login to our Samba box (RedHat 7.1 + 2.4.20) under Windows 2K via Start->Run->share name, I get logged in almost immediately. It averages about 25 seconds under XP. This behavior has been true in various versions of Samba since I believe XP was available and is reproducible on every (several) Windows 2K/XP boxes I have tried. This is a workgroup environment with Samba acting as

I need to get around the requirement of --exclude=* to have all the parent directories of the files and directories that are to be included. So given the file.. /startdirectory/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/filetobecopied I need to include / /subdirectory1 /subdirectory1/subdirectory2 I could just include the entire directory structure , but alternatively just include the needed paths. So the

I made a filesystem (mke2fs -j) on a logical volume under kernel 2.6.20 on a 64-bit based system, and when I try to mount it, ext3 complains with EXT3-fs: dm-1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (80). I first thought I just forgot to make the filesystem, so I remade it and the error is still present. I ran fsck on this freshly made filesystem, and it completed with

Recently, our backup software oddly decided to rebackup a good portion of our file server instead of just doing an incremental. When I examined various sets of presumably identical files, I discovered that the modification dates on these files were no longer the same. Many files were re-dated to exactly one hour later such that if a file had been modified on 3/24/04 at 2:24:53 PM, it's

I have had in years past seen hardware (SCSI) RAID controllers lose it electronically causing the kernel to fill the logs with scary SCSI messages and ext3 to complain about "holes" in the filesystem like so: Sep 7 14:47:17 thewarehouse1 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,81)): ext3_readdir: directory #376833 contains a hole at offset 0 I'm using drbd and heartbeat so whatever

Someone recently posted the following statement midway down the page at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-305871-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-ext3+ordered+data-start-25.html >You don't need to defragment ext2/ext3 because as you use the >filesystem file blocks and inodes are moved around and reallocated >to keep the data nearly contiguous.

Dual Opteron system running ext3 atop drbd (network RAID) devices, which, in turn, are atop LVM logical volumes. The underlying device is hardware SCSI RAID via a LSILogic HBA. The kernel is vanilla 2.6.13 on a Gentoo-based system. A panic occurred, which contains references to ext3 code. I'm not sure how others manage to get these typed out, but I'm manually typing it from

Box with Redhat 7.1 and kernel 2.4.20 has a hardware RAID (about 750 gigs data) attached via an Adaptec 29160 LP card... I began seeing numerous SCSI errors in my logs for our external hardware RAID and input/output errors on test attempts to copy files via cp. Rebooted and immediately saw the errors as the disk was initially accessed by the Adaptec driver. The RAID controller did not

Rsync 3.2.7 is running on the Gentoo computer, which doesn't have a version, other than it's "current". I'm running the script from this computer. Rsync 3.1.2 is on the source computer, where the files come from, which is Ubuntu 18.0.4.6. I'm copying to a CIFS share mounted on the Gentoo computer. The rsync scripts are all similar to this one: /usr/bin/rsync -v -a

drbd-0.7.19 under kernel 2.6.17-rc4 is running on a primary node standalone. There are 8 resources in the same group. fsck.ext3 -fv is being run simultaneously on all of them. Each of the drbd devices are running on an lv, which all belong to a single pv. The actual "disk" is a hardware RAID connected via SCSI (i.e., the mpt driver). Five of the fsck finished their tasks

I''ve been experimenting with a two system setup in snv_134 where each system exports a zvol via COMSTAR iSCSI. One system imports both its own zvol and the one from the other system and puts them together in a ZFS mirror. I manually faulted the zvol on one system by physically removing some drives. What I expect to happen is that ZFS will fault the zvol pool and the iSCSI stack will
