[ NOTE: I'm putting this off-topic thread back on the Ext3 list, temporarily, as I hope _someone_else_ can help this gentleman better than I have. With each response I get 10 more questions, 5 of them have already been answered and another 5 that utterly confuses me on what he is trying to accomplish, because he's changing his priorities (to often conflicting ones). ] "IT3 Stuart

All, Trying to figure out how to deal with, I assume, a dying disk that's unfortunately on / (ext3). Getting errors similar to: Dec 31 20:44:30 mybox kernel: hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Dec 31 20:44:30 mybox kernel: hdb: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=163423, high=0, low=163423, sector=163360 Dec 31 20:44:30 mybox kernel: end_request:

Hi, I have a customized CentOS 5.5 kernel. I want it to upgrade it to CentOS 7. The approach I have decided was to take the CentOS 7 and then install the customized packages that are there in the CentOS 5.5. While trying to install the customized packages, I could install most of the packages, but I couldn't install the below in the latest CentOS 7. 1. rhpl 2. mod_perl 3.

I have recently deployed a number of CentOS-3.4 boxes and I am seeing problems with rpm database apparent corruption. db4 errors like DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND. I have found that using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 seems to fix the problem but I can''t find much info on why or if doing that is good or bad. I have done --rebuilddb but with the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL that might be making thinks worse... I just

I've had the chance to use a testsystem here and couldn't resist running a few benchmark programs on them: bonnie++, tiobench, dbench and a few generic ones (cp/rm/tar/etc...) on ext{234}, btrfs, jfs, ufs, xfs, zfs. All with standard mkfs/mount options and +noatime for all of them. Here are the results, no graphs - sorry: http://nerdbynature.de/benchmarks/v40z/2009-12-22/ Reiserfs

Dear ext3-users, I write scientific number-crunching codes which deal with large input and output files (Gb, tens of Gb, as much as hundreds of Gygabytes on occasions). Now there are these multi-core setups like Intel Core 2 Duo becoming available at a low cost. Disk I/O is one of the biggest bottlenecks. I would very much like to put to use the multiple processors to read or write in parallel

R-devel has been warning for some time about hidden files (in the Unix sense, starting with a period) in source packages. We could get R CMD build and the CRAN incoming scripts to remove these *if* we knew that they were never needed. It seems clear that .Rapp.history .Rhistory .Rbuildindex.xxxxx inst/doc/.build.timestamp are R leftovers, ._.DS_store is from an Apple filesystem and .tex

If you export two subvolumes of a btrfs filesystem, they will both be given the same uuid so lookups will be confused. blkid cannot differentiate the two, so we must use the fsid from statfs64 to identify the filesystem. We cannot tell if blkid or statfs is best without knowing internal details of the filesystem in question, so we need to encode specific knowledge of btrfs in mountd. This is

Dear, I always had one E1 card with one span, so I've never had any problem in set it up through /etc/dahdi/sustem.conf and /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf because I put span=1. But now I have a PBX with two E1 cards with 4 span (8 span in total). How do I have to define both card in system.conf and chan_dahdi.conf, and how do I have to refer each span to the corresponding card ??? Thanks a

I noticed that when I create users with smbldap-useradd, the default group is "Domain Users". Is this the best user/group default setup for Samba/LDAP? I'm more familar with the unix user/group setup like max/students or max/faculty. Does the user group have to be "Domain Users" when using Samba? Thanks, Yasee smbldap-useradd -m -a username (where the username is

Dear @ll Friends, After trying to install some libraries such as fSeries, I receive this error: Fehler: unable to create temp directory 'C:/Programme/R/rw2010pat/library\file12763' Also after trying to install other packages ,I receive similar errors, for example, installation of tseries: Fehler: unable to create temp directory 'C:/Programme/R/rw2010pat/library\file30539' ...

NFS needs a unique identifier for a filesystem to be able to export it. This can be set by the admin (fsid= in /etc/exports) but that is a hassle and it is best to set it automatically. nfs-utils currently uses the UUID returned by libblkid if that works, or the fsid returned by statfs64 if libblkid finds nothings and fsid is non-zero. Otherwise it uses device major/minor. This

Hi, I am trying out ext3 with an external journal (on a battery backed RAM card). I use data=journal, and sync nfs writes go nice and fast :-) But.. I had to power cycle it (buggy VM.. grumble :-) and now I cannot get my filesystem back. It is only a test filesystem so I don't need the data. But I want this to work before I put real data on it. If I "fsck /dev/md1", it

I am new to ext3 + external journal. Is there any howto I can look at? this is what I understand 1. mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/md5 2. mke2fs -J device=/dev/md5 /dev/md0 3. mount /dev/md0 / -t ext3 ( hmm.. what do I need to put on fstab?? ) /dev/md5 is a two drive RAID 1 partition /dev/md0 is a 4 drive RAID 5 partition. questions: 1. I am running RedHat 9.0. what extra software I need to

Sorry this is off-topic, but I'm scrambling to get this system in, google didn't help, and I'm sure someone on this list knows the answer cold. I'm trying to nfs-export a tmpfs disk. I saw a hint from a response about ram disks... which leads to my guess that tmpfs simply doesn't implement some method that nfsd needs. I can probably survive without tmpfs, but I'd like to

I'm putting the final touches on kinit, which is the user-space replacement (based on klibc) for the whole in-kernel root-mount complex. Pretty much the one thing remaining -- other than lots of testing -- is to handle automatically mounted md devices. In order to do that, without adding userspace versions of all the paritition code (which may be a future change, but a pretty big one)

I've read through the archives and it looks like people are using ext3 with software RAID with at least some success. I just want to confirm that it works properly. If I convert my md RAID 0 to ext3, should I expect A) A fast journalled filesystem, or B) Wailing and gnashing of teeth My RAID currently does not use persistant superblocks, because I created it many moons ago under the old

An update of the ext3 journalling filesystem for 2.4 kernels is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Patches are against 2.4.6-ac1 and 2.4.6. Changes since 0.0.8 include: - Multiplied the version numbering by ten to cater for bugfix releases against the 0.9.0 stream. - The main thrust has been the removal of a number of changes in the core kernel which were required
