Which mkfs tool can I use for an ext3 file system??
HI,
I have just upgraded my Linux 7.1 to 7.2 (so I can
have ext3 available for use). My question is how do I
format a partition for an ext3 file system? We can
normally run the command 'mkfs' or 'mkfs.ext2' to
format an ext2 file system, or 'mkfs.xfs' for an xfs
file system. I was looking for some utilily like
'mkfs.ext3' or similar.

unmountable ext3 root recovery
After a (hardware) crash yesterday, I was unable to boot up due to
unrecoverable ide errors (according to the printk()s) when accessing
the root filesystem's journal for recovery.
Unable to recover, I tried deleting the has_journal option, but that was
disallowed given that the needs_recovery flag was set. I saw no way
to unset that flag.
Unable to access the backups (they were on a fw

EXT3 performance on Large (multi-TeraByte) RAID
Has anyone experienced a significant degradation in ext3 performance when using it on a Multi-TeraByte RAID? As part of an experimental setup, I hooked up three 300GB drives and made an EXT3 RAID5 out of them, using the entire space one each drive, and started throwing a large number of files in the size-range 3KB to 50 KB. Then, I deleted the raid, and created a new one, but this time, I used

Maximum File Size on Ext2/3
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

core dumped messages from tune2fs
I decided to start using ext3. My kernel 2.4.15p9.
I downloaded and build util-linux-2.11m

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.

Crashed filesystem - directory recovery
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

mount error 22 mounting ext3
I recently installed RedHat 8.0 on my computer but i discovered that
i also needed to install windows for several programs that I still
needed. I have two HDs, the RedHat install is on an 80Gb drive and
the windows install is on an 8gb hard drive (which is the slave). I
attempted to install windows on the slave but that is a no go so I

How to determine Ext2/3 FileSystem state ?
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.

RAID-5/LVM/ext3
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?

ext3 2.4.21 htree tests
Hi,
Just thought I'd share some test results of mine in case anyone is
interested.
Basically the tests are siumulating what our product does with files -
although the tests do it a lot quicker (not as many files though).
The test is to create 1 million files (each containing the text of the
file number) spread over a number of directories. The files are then
removed in the same manner as

Ext3 indexed directory extension.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
Searching in the ext3 filesystem mailing list I have seen that there is an
indexed directory extension for it.
Is this extension stable code ?
Has anyone test it ?
How may I obtain and install it ?
Is it available in any of the last kernel releases ?
Greetings.

RE: ext3fs still uses sequential search of file names in director ies?
Didn't hear back from anyone regarding if there is a way to determine if I
am running the ext3fs with htree. Is there a way I can do it without
checking the src code since I am running the precompired redhat kernel with
8.0? Perhaps an entry under /proc somewhere?

Bad directories appearing in ext3 after upgrade 2.4.16 -> 2.4.18+cvs
Hi,
I recently upgraded one of my fileservers from 2.4.16 to 2.4.18 plus

Since then I have been getting lots of errors like:

how to use LVM snapshot with ext3 - VFS lock patch applicability
Hi,
I have an ext3 file system on top of LVM and i use journaled mode.
I would like to make a snapshot of my filesystem while the application is
running in order to backup
on another physical storage.
For that i have to create an LVM snapshot and then to mount it in read-only
for copying the content.
This is not possible as far as ext3 needs to do a log replay at mount time
( AFAIK).

High load on Squid server after change from reiserfs to ext3
We are running Zope behind Squid 2.4Stable6 with squid in acceleration mode.
The squid box (dual Pentium III 1 GHz, RH 7.2, Linux 2.4.9-21smp, 2GB Ram)
has during busy hours a normal load of 0.2-0.3 . From time to time
we see spikes over some hours where the load average of the machine
is higher than 1.5 although there are no spikes in the CPU
utilization. Also there is no increase in the number
