similar to: freezeing the ext3 filesystem

Anybody know a way to enlarge a filesystem ext3 without having to unmounted it, when they are still space left in the volume group (when using LVM) ? I will be running large production linux system running Oracle. I can't stop the database everytime I have to enlarge a filesystem. We can do it with all others filesystems (JFS, REISERSFS and XFS) when they are created in a volume group. Why

One of our servers (false) just oopsed. In the middle of lunch. Any advise?

Dear all, With or without /lib/tls librairies activated, A search in openldap is very slow on XEN 3.0.x . Cpus do nothing . 15000 entries are dumped in 2 minutes whereas same search without xen are dumped in 4 seconds (with far more activitie on CPUs) I have already see one or mail about this problem .  But I don''t see a solution , perhaps a threading problem between Berkeley DB and

hi there, i begin to install shadow copy VFS mod function in samba 3.0.24-6etch9, after i see the same function at win2003srv, i think it could be very useful, if i gonna make it under DEB, but at the moment i'm really get stucked, i try to describe what's the point now; 1 - load shadow_copy mod in smb.conf vfs objects = shadow_copy 2 - install shadow copy client in WinXPProf 3 -

Hi people, im trying to use shadow copy. Is anyone currently using it? Im following the oficial howto in the samba home page and when i do the xfs_freeze the system totally hangs, any ideas? I know this isn't a specific samba question... I know how to use LVM and snapshots.. the samba how to is accurate? Tnxs in advance.

Helo, We use a big fileserver running Linux/Samba as fileshare. We are facing performances problems for which we'd like some advise : Clients are OS2(LanManager) and windows 2000 reading and writing lots of files in the same directory on the fileshare. We currently have more than 80 000 files in the directory (files size is about 100 Bytes). Could you please advise us some Samba tuning

Our main NFS-server, running Debian Potato, died this morning whilst under quite heavy load - due to a runaway perl-script forking of some 200 instances of "/bin/cp" (the load was ~ 50). The server is running 2.2.19pre14 with ext3-0.0.6b. The server is running kernel-nfs. Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata() at transaction.c line 796: "bh->b_next_transaction ==

hi all, I'm trying to give access to snapshots taken from by dell iscsi MD3200i to my maildirs users. snapshot are mounted in read only mode from my FreeBSD box.

Hello, This may be a slightly rambling and inexpert question from point of view of the learned folks on this list - feel free to go and read something more interesting, but I am curious and a little alarmed about a recent event. I am running Linux from Scratch ("LFS"), under a locally compiled Kernel 2.4.20 (SMP). The root filsytem was created as ext2 and converted to ext3 with an

I don't know if this was present (maybe not?) when the script was written, but the script for taking a snapshot in the instructions for shadow_copy: that looks like this: ---- xfs_freeze -f /home/ lvcreate -L10M -s -n $SNAPNAME /dev/Home/lvol0 xfs_freeze -u /home/ mkdir /home/shadow_share/@GMT-$SNAPNAME mount /dev/Home/$SNAPNAME \ /home/shadow_share/@GMT-$SNAPNAME -onouuid,ro ----

I recently patched our 2.2.20 production kernel with the ext3 patch from kernel.org and have experienced failure on more than one account. Everything seems to run great until the power goes out and the box isn't shutdown correctly. After that files are missing and the box won't boot. All of the partitions were mounted ext3 ordered mode I think. Anyone else experience filesystem

Hi. Would it be hard to somehow make sure that a filsystem can only be mounted once? Shared storage is a pain and it would be nice if one could guarantee that a filsystem is only mounted by one computer. I guess this _might__maybe_ be implemented by using a block on the filsystem as "ping"-block. Mount would write a "ping" to this block, The kernel would then have to check

Hi all, I am running Xen 3.2-1 / 2.6.18 on Debian Etch (Dom0). I setup a Dom0 with several DomUs (Linux). Each DomU disk is a LV partition. I have been seeing a few mails about backups and LVM and just wanted to make sure that what I am doing is correct. Each DomU with a database has a cron that dumps the db with mysqldump. Later on, Dom0 will do an LVM Snapshot of all DomUs and then do a

Hello, I have a 1.3TB ext3 filesystem that has been in service for about 3 months. About 6 days ago the Emulex fibrechannel controller logged a SCSI error and the filesystem changed to RO. It appears that the filesystem instantly changes to RO and prevents the journal from working, therefore invalidating the filesystem. The filesystem was unmounted and a remount was attempted. The mount failed

Hi to all in the list, we are trying to do some tests lab for a large scale mail system having this requirements: - Scale to maybe 1million users(Only for testing). - Server side filters. - User quotas. - High concurrency. - High performance and High Availability. We plan to test this using RHEL5 and maybe RHEL6. As a storage we are going to use an HP EVA 8400 FC(8 GB/s) We defined this

I vaguely recall that the OS X version is "hacked" to handle the file semantics of HFS+ filesystems. Hopefully someone else actually knows the details, I could be a bit wrong
