similar to: mount r/w and r/o

Hi all, I want to setup a RAID storage system, where i have two systems connected to it. the filesystems are mapped out to both connectors. I want the master host mount them read write, and the slave read only. in my fstab on the slave I have a line like the following: /dev/sdb1 /mount ext3 acl,noauto,user_xattr,nosuid,ro 0 0 so in man 5 fstab, it is written, that when the 6. field

Hi list, I recently came up with the need for the storage, shared between two nodes; one would do all the r/w to it and the other would mount it r/o and serve it to the client boxen. I want to use ext3 in this setup, since i trust it the most. My question is: is this possible? How would the r/o node handle the metadata updates that the r/w node would be doing? If there is some fundamental

I have a 1 TB ext3 filesystem mounted via iscsi on a redhat 9 system w/ kernel version - 2.4.20-30.9. I'm not sure when it happened, but today there appears to be about 7,000 files (600GB) missing. The output from df implies that the files are still there. It shows 861 GB utilized. But du shows only 300 GB of data. I'm sure that there are no processes holding onto deleted files because

Let me preface this by saying "Yes, I know *nix filesystems don't need to worry about fragmentation". That said, is there a way to check the overall level of fragmentation of a live ext3 filesystem? I know about filefrag, but that's for specific files. And I think e2fsck tells you, but only if you take the filesystem offline for the scan. Is there anything that will give

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. It's not perfect, but it

Hi - We have had a raid failure, we have some what recovered but we continue to see the following ext3 message... Apr 17 14:59:14 acnlin84 kernel: EXT3-fs unexpected failure: (((jh2bh(jh))->b_state & (1UL << BH_Uptodate)) != 0); Apr 17 14:59:14 acnlin84 kernel: Possible IO failure.

Hi, There wasn't much information regarding fragment support of ext2/3 since 2003 [1], Andreas stating that there were problems with the xattr implementation. Has this changed in the meanwhile? My second question is regarding the bytes-per-inode ratio: What benefits would I gain from having fewer inodes? I reckon it's only diskspace (if so, how much?). best regards, Michael Renner [1]

Hi All, Can anyone help me in resolving this problem. I use Redhat 9 Enterprise edition. I have a session in which I logged in as a root. When I issue the command "su" from any other user it is throwing error "su : Incorrect password", If I try to change the password from the root session, it is throwing error "passwd : module unknown".

Hi, After panic boot, I have executed fsck for the mount point and we couldn't find a single file. We have lot of directories under lost+found like this #3194985. Can anyone tell me how to recover the data from this folder? This is urgent. Thanks in advance for your help.

I just discovered two directories with the same number of files and the same number of hard links but different size: # stat /home/david/linuxburg/fax.old/docq_ps.nnnn \ /hdsync/home/david/linuxburg/fax.old/docq_ps.nnnn File: `/home/david/linuxburg/fax.old/docq_ps.nnnn' Size: 8192 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 52060

Are we likely to see patches to allow 16TB ext3 in the mainstream kernel any time soon? I am working with a storage box that has 16x750GB drives RAID5-ed together to create a potential 10.5TB of potential storage. But because ext3 is limited to 8TB I am forced to split into 2 smaller ext3 filesystems which is really cumbersome for my app. Any ideas anybody?

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

I posted this message first. But it was missing so I post again. I think there is a some bug in build configration files. Can you check up the following errors and fix it?

Hi, I connected my harddisk which had ext3 filesystem and some files archived in it as slave device and issued "mkfs /dev/hdb2" accidentally. Immediately I issued Ctrl C and stopped the process. But before that it had deleted some 100 Blocks. After that I am unable to boot that hard disk as primary device. The system is asking me "please insert a valid boot device and press

Hi, I am using kernel 2.6.15.4. On my system, I first created a partition with EXT3 and put some data on it. Later, I deleted the partition, and re-created another partition with the same starting block number and a higher ending block number. I intended to format it with another filesystem, but surprisingly (or maybe just to me), the superblock of the partition had not changed. I could still

I am trying to get a 9550SX to support a 1.5TB raid partition. I am unsure whether this is a driver problem, or an ext3 problem (as am getting some other wierdness detecting LUNs), but... fdisk recognizes the disk OK. I make a single extended partition with a single 1.5TB logical partition inside it. I then run mke2fs -j /dev/sdb It gets to writing inode tables, and wants to write 11176 block

During my initial download for my home directory backup, it took rsync over 6 hours to do the initial backup, but I can FTP the stuff in about 30 Mins. Is Rsync usualy this slow? I have compression turned on, and its across a 100 MB/S network, Anyone had this problem before? Steve Sills
