similar to: ext3fs still uses sequential search of file names in directories?

Hello, I have a question about ext3 write activity. I am considering using an ext3 fs on a CompactFlash disk for my data-logging application (power can disapear anytime). The quantity & frequency of the data logged itself is not a problem at all considering flash wear. But I'm a bit worried about the kernel/ext3 doing regular writes by itself even when there are no userspace writes.

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?

Lo, Actualy i'm looking for documents about journalised file system, in order to be able to compare them self. I need accurate information if i want to make a good study. Thoses informations have to permit me to get answer about table like this : Features \ fs | xfs | ext3 | jfs | reiserfs | ------------------------------------------------- chattr | ? | Y | ? | ?

I'm NOT the authority here, but AFAIK, Htree is presently available only as a patch for 2.4 kernels (which includes RH8). I think that Htree was still beta code at the time RH8 was frozen (and may still be, from RedHat's perspective). I do not have the impression that the Htree patch has been applied in any standard RedHat kernels or kernel updates. I hope I am wrong, and that

Andreas was kind enough to point out that not neccesarily all ext3fs have htrees ready to go. I am running redhat8.0 out of the box. How can I check if ext3fs with htrees is running? I can download the kernel source, but I don't know what options were used when it was built by redhat. Thanks much for all of your help. -Parker -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Dilger

Good evening. We have some heavy-loaded servers on ext2, and we want to migrate to ext3fs. But we need full and stable quota support. I have headrd that there are some problems in quota usage under ext3fs. Is it true? Should we decline the ext3 usage as impossible in our servers? We need high-level stability in our server (hosting). Thanks before. -- Best regards,

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

Bummer. Does anyone have a url that describes the 2.4 patching process? Any claims on stability?

Hello All, I have been doing some research to find a method to increase the performance of writes to the hard drives in my servers. I am running Samba and all writes to the server hard drives are taking at least 3 to 10 times (It varies) the amount of time it took to write such files on our older Windows NT 4.0 File Server. The following information is provided to keep this issue on track...

This maybe early, but is there an ext3fs patch for the 2.4.16 kernel -- also, in general where does one download the lastest ext3fs patches?? I found the 2.4.14 patch a few weeks ago on in the linux.org UK site, but all the patches appear to be taken off that site...Any help would be most appreciated... Thanks, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I have ext3 installed against the 2.2.19 kernel. I am able to make the ext3 file system and mount it. I am not able to install the ext3fs for kernel-2.4.5 . I am unable to add the ext3 patch to the kernel. In the directory ~andrewm/linux/ext3/, which is the patch for 2.4.5 kernel. ( I can only see the patches for 2.4.6 and 2.4.7 ). Also, is there any prescribed pattern for

Does redhat 9 come with htree optimizations for ext3fs?

Hello, does anybody know if there is an ext3fs patch for kernel 2.4.2-2 that is shipped with redhat 7.1? I was abel to fins patches only for 2.4.6 and 2.4.7. Please try to help ASAP. Best regards, Imad Ossaily.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how stable the ex3fs currently is. I'm running Debian Woody with the 2.4.18 kernel and have already switched over most partitions to have a journal, and mounted them as ext3. This works fine since yesterday or so, and it's very nice that ext3 is so easy to handle and can be activated so painlessly :) But is it a good idea to switch my /home partition over

I've got this poor ext3-partition which I can't access. I have tried a lot of things but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. I've got quite important files on that particular partition. I can't even get the block groups from my /dev/hda3 with dumpe2fs! It all happened after a crash. GRUB wouldn't give me the graphical UI. I decided I had to get my dosbootdisk and do an
