Hi, Also I do have some problems mounting an ext3fs which gets just mounted as an ext2fs. (Yeap, I looked a little bit around in the mailling list and found similiar problems which haven't help me ;-( ) I have a root ( /) and a /mnt partition. both are converted via tune2fs -j into a journaled fs. my fstab looks like this: /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults

A couple of years ago there was a discussion on lkml under the thread 'PATCH - ext2fs privacy (i.e. secure deletion) patch' about zapping deleted data in the filesystem as a security mechanism. The discussion wandered off into how 'chattr +s' could be implemented and whether encrypting filesystems wouldn't be a better solution to the problem. I've been maintaining a

Dear list, pardon my ignorance on ext2/3fs. Is the ext2fs' 4Tb file system and 2GB maximum file size limit still true in ext3fs?

Hello, I'd like to read superblock's information on Redhat 7.3, but I don't know how to do it. For example, Input : "/dev/sdj2" Output : ext2_super_block struct's s_wtime (I saw it at "/usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_fs.h") Input : "/dev/sdj1" Output : ext3_super_block struct's s_wtime (I saw it at

I'll try to keep this short (yeah right! ;-). Being primarily a user, I find myself bitching, analyzing and complaining about things I don't stop to understand half the time. I've done more than may share in this regard the various filesystems over the years. I've done a few LUG and tradeshow presentations over the past year, trying to inform different peer admins what Linux JFS

Check early that there are enough free blocks to store each file, erroring out with ENOSPC if not; this avoids slightly more obscure errors later on. --- src/ext2fs-c.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/ext2fs-c.c b/src/ext2fs-c.c index f01ca9d..e45980a 100644 --- a/src/ext2fs-c.c +++ b/src/ext2fs-c.c @@ -52,6 +52,9 @@ /* fts.h in glibc is broken,

Hello, recently Theodory Tso posted a patch for the ext2fs driver, which improves speed of find and similar programs. Background: the application access all entries in the directory in the order they are stored on the disk. The current ext2 (and apparently Ext3) run a lookup function for each readdir call, starting with the first node! Theodore stores a refference to the node which was accessed

Add install_file_to_device() to support unmounted ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystem. Usage: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block We don't need any new options, it will check whether the target is a directory or device and decide what to do, it would stop and error if the device is mounted. More info: * It will use libext2fs to read and write the file. * It will be used when the

Hello, As a Virtuozzo users we have majority of our diskspace formatted with -i 1024 -b 1024. Lately I discovered that on CentOS 4.6 ext2online barfs when I try to grow such filesystem. Running it with -v -d, it prints lots of lines like: ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b ext2online: 873646830 is a bad size for an ext2 fs! rounding down to 873644033 ... group NNN inode table has

Hi there, I installed my mandrake linux 8.1 with reiserfs. I would like to use wine without my windows partition.

Hi I want to know the current status of Quota support on Ext3FS over the 2.6.7 kernels. I read something about potential deadlock issues/crashes with quotas on Ext3. How stable is the curent quota support (specifically on 2.6 kernels) ? Another thing, in the man page for mount, it says that "These options are accepted but ignored" for "grpquota / noquota / quota / usrquota"

Hi, I've got a Redhat 7.2 system: Celeron 400 512MB RAM 18GB SCSI HD (/boot (ext2fs), / (ext3fs)) 40GB IDE HD (/ (ext3fs)) I run a bunch of services on the box (apache + mod_perl, MYSQL, Samba, etc) but the system is not under heavy load. This system has performance issues reading/writing to the ext3fs filesystems. The performance issues cropped up when I installed Redhat 7.2. Previously

Old edit-livecd just kept adding to the ext2 fs image which meant it never decreased in size even if files were removed. New functionality does multiple passes of ext2fs creation. First pass creates a new ext2fs from the image file inside the squashfs. This first pass is to allow the user to optionally increase the filesystem size. If the -s parameter is omitted the existing size is used and

I got the following error message during the boot process: EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock mount:error 22 mounting ext3 flags Freeing unused kernel memory: 260k freed Kernel panic: No init found.

Obviously for very large files this is going to be a problem, as well as not being very cache efficient. libext2fs can handle writes to parts of files just fine so copy files in blocks. Also demote the "Permission denied" error to a warning, and add some explanatory text telling people not to use sudo. --- src/ext2fs-c.c | 127 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------

Hi, This branch contains the new ext4's inline data support which has been added recently to kernel 3.8. In addition to inline data support, there are other patches that remove trainling whitespaces and extra new lines in ext2fs code and the other adds an assert() macro to Syslinux core. I think it's worth mentioning that these changes were made against master branch.

hi all I want to know wt does s_log_blocksize represent in ext2's superblock structure in memory.. Is is 1024 for 1kb block size in ext2 file system.. Also wt does s_blocksize and s_blocksize_bits members of VFS superblock represent.. BTW are there any ext2 file system specific mailing lists.. bye a Linux lover

Hello, sorry if the question was asked a couple of times before but I couldn't find any useful hinds to this problem using google and the listman search-engine of the archive of this list. Somehow the ext3 filesystem on one of my machines died an after a reboot grub wouldn't come up again. What I did so far: fsck -y /dev/hda4 fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
