similar to: ext3 to ext2 conversion causes kernel panic

Hi, We have recently switched from XFS to ext3 do to various corruption scenarios that were witnessed. Does ext3 have something like xfs_growfs for growing the FS to the end of the underlying partition? Thanks, Menny

I accidentally removed an ext3 partition from the partition table. I know roughly where it started. Is there any way of finding the superblock and reconstructing it? TIA, Dave (Yes I have a backup of the important stuff!)

i have a question on ext3 modes and am not sure if this list is still active

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Does anybody have any links/howtos on creating an encrypted file system using ext3? Basically I want to encrypt /home and be asked the password when I mount the file system. - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/pgp.txt KDE:

I tried it on loop. 1. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test -t ext3 2. cp files to 100% full 3. umount /mnt/test 4. fsck.ext3 -f /dev/loop0 Inode xxxxx, i_blocks is xxx, should be yyy. Fix?

I've been running RH 72 on my Dell at work. Since I use more than one system and I test things, I forgot that I had the root partition as ext3. That machine has two kernels on it. One is the stock 2.4.7 RH 72 and the other is the new 2.4.17 that I compiled last week. This morning I logged in and typed startx. The kernel responed by coughing up a lung and segfaulted. Couldn't run any

I'm getting ready to add some memory to a server running RH7.3 with ext3. I'm going to need to add more space to the swap partition and so I'll also need to resize an ext3 partition. I've seen some posts by searching the list that the resize2fs should work fine, but the man pages don't mention anything about ext3. Version is: resize2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Has anyone actually

Hi, I get the error "Operation not permitted" when I try to delete a file as root, see some commands below. - there is no "i" attribute - it's a problem with the files and not the upper directories since I can delete a similar file in the same directory - fsck -f doesn't find any error on the partition - the partition is mounted rw If this is not the right place to

Ah, Mondays. The following oops happened after approximately eleven days of uptime. The machine was not under any particular load at the time. Following a forced reboot, all filesystems replayed the journal successfully. Relevant log entries leading up to the oops: Nov 4 04:54:08 localhost kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Nov 4 04:54:08 localhost kernel: 03:02: rw=1,

I am trying to use data=journal on my root file system. I have separate slices on which journal=data works fine on all of them, except root. I have tried putting rootflags=journal=data on my kernel line in Grub, but I get a kernel panic. I'm missing something simple, I jut know it. It can't be the kernel version because it works on the other slices. My etc/fstab file is as follows:

I have a few settings that change based on the network that a system is in, and I have a heterogeneous collection of networks (a few /24s, some /25s, a /29 and a couple /27s, and hey look a /16 in rfc1918 space and...). So I can''t do simple regex matches on dotted-quad IP notation and expect to get a complete story. What I''d like is something like, I dunno... $nameserver =

Hi guys'n'girls, I think my question is : How can I tell a redhat 2.4.x kernel (via grub or LILO command-line parameters) that the root filesystem is ext2 and not ext3 ? I thought it would just look in /etc/fstab, but presumably it needs to know what fstype the root is before mounting it; the words 'chicken' and egg' spring to mind. Or does some initrd jggerypokery go on?

Can anyone comment on whether or not it is possible to successfully disable the journal of an ext3 root file system prior to reboot? My application is to try and make sure there is no journal prior to installing and rebooting into a system which does not support ext3. I know that as long as the root is cleanly remounted r/o with no journal updates pending, this will be compatible. I'm

I am using SuSE 7.3 compiled ext3 support into the kernel and installed it. All my partitions load up as ext3 except / . I ran tune2fs several times, still doesn't take on the / drive. Most recent dumpe2fs -h show no features on that drive=, I keep going around in circles, removing .journal from / and running tune2fs but it never works for / What am I doing wrong? ( thanks in advance)

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

Just now I ran tune2fs -j on the root filesystem of a box running 2.6.0-test8. Then I edited /etc/fstab and changed the FS type to from ext2 to ext3, saved the file, and invoked vim on the file again. A few moments after this, the box hung. Unfortunately X was running at the time, and so I don't have any messages to cite. Is this a known problem?

Hi, I'm using ext3 filesystems in embedded devices (storage is on 512Mb or 1Gb CF cards). A typical development cycle would see the filesystem created on the desktop PC running linux 2.4 (eg. RedHat 9). The CF card would be installed in the hardware and linux 2.4 (eg. Montavista Pro 3.1, on PPC) would boot from the CF. Recently I tried a linux 2.6 desktop (CentOS) for the same task and

Dear Everybody! I want to export data to LaTeX. As I want to employ the data as freely as possible I want to avoid the xtable-command and instead generate some List like \MyOwnPrettyCommand{Adam}{Auer}{17} \MyOwnPrettyCommand{Bertram}{Bauer}{14} \MyOwnPrettyCommand{Christoph}{Huber}{75} \MyOwnPrettyCommand{Damian}{Dorfer}{69} \MyOwnPrettyCommand{Emanuel}{Eder}{43} with \MyOwnPrittyCommand

I was tinkering with Asterisk and the Festival text-to-speech engine, and wrote some short Asterisk::AGI scripts to read back live weather reports. After that, I thought I needed something more interactive to work with... Then I had a flashback to 1996, first year university, standing in the C & O club at the University of Waterloo, where someone had just pulled out their US Robotics Palm

I have been playing with external journals some more and thought I should share some experiences. I am running 2.4.16 with the ext3 patches from Andrew Morton and e2fsprogs 1.25 I have an ext3fs filesystem on an 8 drive RAID5 array and place the journal on a partition of the mirrored pair that I boot off (all drives SCSI). I have tried pulling the power cable and seeing what happens. I finally
