similar to: 2.4.20 kernel patch for ext3

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

Help! I am running FC1, with a maxtor 160GB HD installed. Drive is only about a month old. I had just finished moving data from an older HD that was making some funny sounds and throwing some random errors. All was well. Last night we lost power for several hours and 1 machine's UPS/shutdown system didn't power down the workstation. The other 7 in our office did fine. The power

Hello friends, I am experiencing some weird beheaviour on one of my computers. I appologize for the laconic subject, but I really don't know anything more than that. I'll tell the story in chronological order. I have an HP server with five SCSI disks. The disks are _not_ in RAID. I installed FC2 on one disk. I installed a 2.6.11.7 and used it for boot. The server runs some software

Hi, for some days now I am/was fighting with an annoying problem. I have to support an environment where RhostRSAAuthecntication via /etc/ssh/sshd_known_hosts is used for password-less login. This works fine with RH7.3 (and RH8) and openssh versions openssh-3.1p1-3 (and openssh-3.4p1-2). Our customer has now requested an upgrade to RH9. That comes with openssh-3.5p-11 and the password-less

Hi I have just moved my firewall from a 2.6 debian machine to a 2.4.30 openwrt (linksys wrt54gs) box. I orginially had this working with 2 isp, 1 cable 1 adsl and dyndns. Now when i have moved to 2.4.30 I am having problems. Everything else is working fine except when I DNAT packets from the firewall to an internal address, ie my web browser is inside so I DNAT from the external IP to the

I found this thread from a few months ago that seems to have been started by someone with the same problem I have, but it was not resolved: https://www.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2005-March/msg00000.html I have been trying to speed up my boot times and I notice that a lot of time is spent waiting on IO. Even with readahead-list precacheing files, it is reading at less than 1/4 of my

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

Hi, I'm using linux 2.4.25 and I'm trying to change the wakeup interval of kupdate daemon. Is there a way to change that ? I once used 'update' tool for that. But that is not there in 2.4.25. Has it been removed ? I appreciate any help regarding this. thanks, Vijayan

Hi, It seems one of my computers died last night and it looks like hard disk trouble. I took the disk out and attached to another system and tried to mount the partition, but the mount doesn't complete and just hangs (process is also unkillable - I had to reboot). So, I tried to run "fsck -fccp /dev/sda2" but the command just hangs after printing "/dev/sda2: recovering

Hi, I have a 1 GigaByte size file and want to remove some bytes from it. For this I must follow the next steps: (1) Create a new file. (2) Copy into it the bytes I will left from the original file. (3) Remove the original file. (4) Move the new file to be the original file. The problem with this process is that it uses lot of disk I/O. Actually only one disk block of the file is modified. Is

Hi We have a problem with a new server system running OpenBSD 3.6 (macppc). It runs on a vlan which is part of other vlan in a building network infrastructure. The img0 interface is configured 100baseTX full-duplex as it should be. The speed is disappointing, using samba 2.2.10. Other systems, i.e. four mac's computers exchange data at full speed over that network. All cables are brand new ,

Hi, Does anybody know whether the ext3 file system support Direct_io? if so, how do you enable it? I went through the man page of mount, and it did not mention such option? my system is running : Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 2) Kernel 2.4.21-15.ELsmp on an i686 Thanks much!!! David.

Hi, with being exposed to more and more failed hard disks reports, I've accumulated several questions of the logged messages in /var/log/messages file: like how to identifying failed disks(partitions), where is the exact failed sector(s) on the hard disk, and why badblocks reports OK to the reported disk failure. Let me explained the above with the following several example. scenario #1, a

Hi, Suppose you have an ext2 Partition at 14GB which is 80-90% full. Most files are smaller than 1 MB (there are just 20 or so which are over 100MB where 800MB is the biggest one). Block size etc - everything is default. Now you do this: mke2fs -j /device Important is the "-j" switch. What happens without the "-j" switch? All superblocks and inodes are overwritten. Is this

Dear friends, I run the Gelman-Rubin Convergence test for a MCMC object I have and I got the following result Multivariate psrf 1.07+0i, What does this mean? I guess (if I am not mistaken) that I should get a psrf close to 1.00 but what is 1.07+0i? Is that convergence or something else? Jorge [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
