Hi, ext3-0.9.18 is now available for 2.4.19-pre8. Some of the fixes in this release are already in the 2.4.19-pre8, but there are some important new fixes in the patch and users are encouraged to upgrade. This release fixes all known outstanding bug reports. The full patch against linux-2.4.19-pre8, and a tarball of the individual fixes in this patch set, is now propagating to

Does Fsync of a file on a ext3 fs mounted with "ordered" option(the default) result in flush the dirty data buffers in the fs that correspond to previous transactions. In other words, if I keep writing to file1 (lots of data), log something to file2, keep fsyncing file2 after every write - does this mean file1 data would be committed by fsyncs on file2. Please copy me on your replies

I sent this report sometime ago to l-k and to the preempt-patch maintainer, but omitted to send a copy here, where some people could have clues about the problem - so here it is: ----- Forwarded message ----- To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Robert Love <rml@tech9.net> Subject: oops with 2.4.18 and preempt patch, on SMP + ext3 machine Coming back home tonight, I found my machine in a bad

All, I am running into a situation in which one of my ext3 filesystems is getting hung during normal usage. There are three ext3 filesystems on a CompactFLASH. One is mounted as / and one as /tmp. In my test, I am copying a 100 MB file from /root to /tmp repeatedly. While doing this test, I eventually see the copying stop, and any attempts to access /tmp fail - if I even do ls /tmp the

Hi all, and particularly Andrew and Stephen, I recently "upgraded' one of my NFS fileservers from (patched)2.4.18 to 2.4.23-pre7 (in order to resolve a HIMEM related memory pressure problem). Unfortunately I have experienced what appears to be a deadlock. The one I will describe was experienced while running 2.4.23-pre7, though I had a very similar problem in 2.4.22 (but

Hi, I've recently installed ext3 on an 800MB RAID5 (software) array. I am running RedHat Linux 7.1 with the Linux kernel 2.4.12-ac3 on a 1GHz Pentium system with 128MB RAM. I am seeing a significant amount of write operation slowdown when running ext3 (and kjournald), as opposed to my old ext2. The problem seems to be associated with the times that kjournald is accessing the disk. At

We have here an knfs fileserver running ext3 on 2.4.18 kernel with three filesystems: <CLIP> Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 10080520 3609632 6368476 37% / /dev/hda4 16437332 12295408 3974932 76% /home /dev/md1 1024872060 409906136 614441636 41% /fs </CLIP> The /fs filesystem lives on a

I am using SuSE 7.3 compiled ext3 support into the kernel and installed it. All my partitions load up as ext3 except / . I ran tune2fs several times, still doesn't take on the / drive. Most recent dumpe2fs -h show no features on that drive=, I keep going around in circles, removing .journal from / and running tune2fs but it never works for / What am I doing wrong? ( thanks in advance)

Hi, just had an oops while spool uucp mails via uuxqt->postfix->procmail to multiple mailboxes on an UDMA IDE drive on my Laptop.

I've tried to find my answer to this question but I have not (yet). Any assistance or expert knowledge is greatly appreciated! PROBLEM: mounting an ext3 volume 'read only' results in a different md5sum hash value for the volume than when the same volume is *not* mounted SCENARIO: - when I hash unmounted /dev/hda5 using 'md5sum /dev/hda5' I get value XXX. - when I hash

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having some problems. I seem to have introduced a memory leak after adding ext3 support to the kernel. I noticed when running top or viewing /proc/meminfo my free memory pool seems to be decreasing while my buffers are increasing (around the same rate). I am currently using a root partition and a /var partition. I have listed the ext3 boot messages below.

Hi Ext3! I'm running about 30 dedicated MySQL machines under quite decent loads, and they are occassionally crashing. I've been logging console messages recently in an effort to find the cause, and some appear to be related to I perused your lists and found the message I'm replying to. If you don't mind, I've included messages and ksymoops from two crashes that I had

We're getting the below errors about once a day on a system we're trying to set up with RedHat 7.3. This has happened to multiple filesystems on multiple physical and logical disks (basically we've got 4 drives as 2 sets of RAID 1 arrays, details below). Until a week ago, this box was a high-volume IMAP server running RedHat 6.2 with uptimes in the 200-day range, so I don't

Hello, we have just observed a rather annoying behavior one of our servers. Specifically, when writing data to a file on an ext3fs filesystem at around 1.5 MB/sec, network connectivity suddently started to show signs of lag. The ping would spike up to ~1 second every 5 seconds or so. This affects the server in question and all hosts routing traffic through it (i.e., it's not a userland-only
