similar to: Journal file location

Hi, Is it possible to use a separate journal device (one on a separate drive or a partition) shared among more than 1 Ext3 file systems ? I appreciate any inputs. thanks, Vijayan

hello: I have been reviewin my message slog and have found the following message: Dec 19 06:27:28 server02 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,7)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28 What is error 28 and should I be worried about it? Ray Turcotte

I need to find out what the maximum file size in an ext2/3 file system. It appears from the definition of the ext2_inode structure that since the i_size field is a 32 bit integer that the file would be limited by that. Thanks, Jason

Hi, Im wondering what would be a good size on the journal file for a data=journal ext3 ? I can't find any reference to a "standard" value for other then ordered (8192 blocks). Please include my email in replies, Thanks in advance. -- echo '[q]sa[ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx]sb382793634903snlbx806007844 59087snlbx71765988876376snlbx11172185121099snlbx'|\dc

I'm trying to eek every last bit of performance out of a sync NFS server using ext3. I created a 400MB journal, for my data=journal disk. When copying a 200MB file to the machine, by the sound of the disk, it flushed data to disk about 4 times, so, about every 50MB. For the purposes of user experience, it would be great if this could be tuned. I'd set it to just over a couple

Is there a way to get usage statistics on the journal device? We are testing battery-backed NVRAM cards with extremely busy 1.7TB filesystems (mode data=journal) and we need to figure out what size NVRAM card we need. I assume the journal size depends on how much writing you are doing and we can do simple theoretical calculations (writing 2.5MB/s, 60 seconds of journal would be max 150MB), but

Hello! I have some questions about external journals. On a 4 disk software RAID 5 I have two big devices (one 60 GB, one 180 GB). I would like to give each an external journal on a 2 disk software RAID 1 device and use data=journal. The journal will get its own partition with mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/mdwhatever. The used 6 harddrives are all IDE drives, they are connected through

I'm trying to setup an external journal device, but it won't mount as ext3. I can only mount it as ext2. Everything seems happy when I run the commands. It will work when I don't use the external device. This is on RH7.2, linux-2.4.18-rc2. [root@dhcp4 root]# mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/hdb5 [root@dhcp4 root]# mke2fs -j -J device=/dev/hdb5 /dev/hdb6 [root@dhcp4 root]# mount -t ext3

I created on my 60Gb hdd (data=journal) journal with 16Mb size, i think it not enough. As it is possible to change size of journal ?

Hello On root Partition is .journal visible . On all other Partitions is invisible. At which way I can move it manually to a hiden inode? I have delete with chattr -i /.journal rm -f /.journal and installed ext3 with tune2fs -j /dev/hdb1 And /.journal is again visible! -- MfG / With best Regards Rusmir Duško Registered Linux user: #130654 http://counter.li.org

I've got an approximately 100GB ext3 FS which we recently sized down from 300GB using e2fsadm (with the disc offline obviously). I noticed the following in dmesg the other day: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 14827639 EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 14041793 EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc:

I decided to start using ext3. My kernel 2.4.15p9. I downloaded and build util-linux-2.11m and e2fsprogs 1.25. I compiled ext3 in the kernel. I started converting my filesystems and thing went ok for the first few. I then started getting the following on each additional filesystem. [root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hdc4 tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001) Creating journal inode: done This filesystem

Hopefully, someone can tell me if this is OK. I recently had a problem with my system and had to do a complete restore. Fortunately, I had made a full backup just the day before. My filesystems are Ext3 (why else would I be posting this here?). :) Anyway, when I originally changed my filesystems from Ext2 to Ext3, I did while they were still mounted. As a result, the journal file was visible.

Hello folks, I had an ext3 filesystem mounted as the root of a Linux MOO server. Unfortunately, the filesystem was on one of the infamous DTLA-3070xx drives - and the drive decided to fail at the worst moment it possibly could, trashing the filesystem fairly well. The situation is as follows: I used dd_rescue to create an image of what is left of the filesystem, but I ended up with some 65MB

Hi, We are currently doing SpecSFS comparison benchmarking to evaluate advantages of FS journaling to NVRAM card versus journaling to hard disks. We compare NFS performance for Linux file server with ext3 file system in ?data=journal? mode for three different locations of the file system journal: - inside main file system - on a dedicated HD - on an NVRAM PCI card The file system is

hi all, I intend to write a snapshot module for Ext2/3 file-systems. For that i need to make sure that FS is in consistent state before taking snapshot. For ex. in case of UFS, the superblock has a fs_clean flag which is set to be FSSTABLE to tell that its in consistent state. (otherwise its set to FSACTIVE) I m not able to find any such information for Ext2/Ext3. (The

Hello: We trying to configure one machine (Compaq Proliant ML760) with 8 disks (72GB each disk) with RAID. We are thinking to use ext3 and LVM in RedHat 7.2 for manage one filesystem with 500GB. This filesystems have to store near off 5.000.000 of files. Is this possible? Could I resize the filesystems/volume to 1TB? what are the ext3 and LVM limits? someone have tested sismilar environment? I

Hello, If I made a cpio backup of an ext3 fs. Then created a new fs and restored everything including the .journal file, What would happen?? Regards John

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
