Hi! I was testing 2.6.0-test5, but got lots of journal aborted errors. Then I Sysrq-s/u/b and wanted to boot 2.4.23-pre3 or 2.4.22, but ext3 error: cannot find root fs cannot mount because of unsupported optional feature (4) after trying to mount it with ext2 (rootfstype=ext2, not working) I rebooted again into 2.4.22, this time there was just severe fs corrpution, illegal blocks, inodes,

There's a new set of ext2/3 patches for 2.4.21-pre5 available at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/extfs-update-2.4.21pre5-2 and in broken out form at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/broken-out-2.4.21pre5-2 New to this patch set include: * A kludge to help htree work well with Linux's NFS implementation * Allow the orlov allocator to be disabled via a

Hi rsync gurus! [Please Cc: me, as I am NOT subscribed to the list!] First the data points: debian/woody, local server=i386 arch, remote is alpha arch rsync version on both debian 2.5.5-0.2 While upgrading our server to a raid we were hit by a bug which I really consider very strange: The option -n/--dry-run does NOT change files, but DELETE files when called with --delete. Test case I had: $

Hi Alan, sorry for the journalctl output. I have now done the following:L * boot into 3.17-rc7 * mount the usb stick (recovery completed) * unmount, mount, unmount - just to be sure all is fine * started usbmon capturing on bus 3 * mount the usb stick * suspend to ram * wake up now the stick is "officially" mounted (/proc/mounts) * umount error messages pop up * try to mount more

Hi Alan, thanks for your answer. > I do not recognize this problem based on your description. Please post > the dmesg log. Here cleaned output of journalctl, removed mainly networkmanager stuff. This is about a wake up after sleep, where before the stick was ok. More details necessary, let me know. Thanks Norbert

Dear all, (please Cc) I am running latest kernel (3.17-rc6) and I see corruption of an usb3.0 device usb stick. Strange errors, impossibility to mount. Repeated unplugging and replugging helps sometimes, in all cases recovery is necessary. Is this a know problem, a problem of my system Debian/sid, uptodate, self-compiled kernel of the suspend program (that initiates the suspend), the usb

But never mind, there probably

Hi all! Several times now I have seen the following: fsck-ing the ext3 fs I get hundreds (if not thousands) of messages: Indoe NNNN, i_blocks is K, should be (K-8). FIXED: Interestingly the difference is *always* *always* *always* 8. Can someone explain me what was going on? Why this? Thanks a lot and all the best Norbert

Hiall! Is there un updated patch for bridge/nf/ebtables for 2.4.27? I tried the patch for 2.4.26 but there were several rejects. Then I patched in the rejects by hand and it zorked, at leqst for now. But to be sure I want someone with knowledge to update the patch instead of me nokey ;-) Best wishes Norbert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An update to the ext3 filesystem for 2.4 kernels is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The diffs are against linux-2.4.7 and linux-2.4.6-ac5. The changelog is there. One rarely-occurring but oopsable bug was fixed and several quite significant performance enhancements have been made. These are in addition to the performance fixes which went into 0.9.3. Ted has put out a

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of

I have a need to have a live Linux (Debian or sysrescued ) to boot off a hard-drive so that the hard-drive ends up umounted after boot. (for running partimage ). I've gone down the memdisk iso route and read about the issues there - I've seen a way to do this by mounting over nfs (messy) - but I want to do this without the network. I'm thinking that there should be a way to loop

I have a CentOS 4.4 system where all of the main filesystems are on a single hard drive. This drive is starting to give some errors, so I got a new (larger) drive to replace it with. What is the easiest way to copy my filesystems over to the new drive? I considered using dd, but I lose the extra capacity of the new drive that way. I tried using SystemImager, but it is giving me some errors. I

Dear all, (please Cc) yesterday I had two bugs with btrfs and ext3 occurrences, always happening when plugging in an external USB btrfs disk. Today I had a BUG which is purely ext3 related.

Hi, if you can provide a prepared src tarball like you do for releases, I can test. But I still cannot build from git source (as you may remember). -- Regards, Igor
