Hi! Today I switched over to devfs. I'm on Debian unstable, installed devfsd, installed a kernel with devfs support and "devfs mount on boot". Reboot, devfs is being used. All over a sudden, dmesg reports: Linux version 2.4.21-ac1 (root@hummus) (gcc version 3.3 (Debian)) #1 Sun Jun 15 19:06:13 CEST 2003 ... kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted

Hello, I converted one of my servers to ext3 and load average numbers went up. Now they are ~2-3 while on ext2 LA was <0.4. And I'm constantly seeing processes and kjournald in D state. vmstat confirms that. But even in such LA CPUs are ~99% idle. What can be wrong? RedHat 7.1 kernel 2.4.18-18.7.xsmp. SCSI cards: Compaq RAID array controller (cciss) and Q Logic ISP1020 (isp_mod).

Right now I'm building a 2.4.17 kernel on an HPPA Linux system. The kernel it ships with supports ext2 only.

We've been noticing some problems with ext3 and, in our case, postfix, that appear to come to light under heavy disk i/o loading. A previous thread found here (http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/ext3-users/msg04189.html) documents an identical set of symptons (and similar setup), but with RH 7.2 The specifics are this: 1. Stock install of RH8.0 with postfix. 2. Linux mx 2.4.18-14 #1

I've backported all of the bugfixes to the 2.5 dxdir/htree patches to 2.4, and have created a new set of patches for Linux 2.4.21rc5. At this point it *looks* like we've fixed all of the htree bugs that people have reported, including the brelse bug, the memory leak bugs, and the NFS compatibility problems. I've done *very* light testing, and things seem to work, but I'm now

Hi. I am using a large storage which is ext2 file system of 1T byte. It has many file types, doc, mail data, zip, etc. It doesn't have a database file. I want to change the file system from ext2 to ext3. It also can't divide to any partitions. How to decide journal mode and journal size? Please advice to me. Recommend a journal mode. (orderd or journal) Recommend a journal

On several machines with ext3 we have a periodic "unresponsiveness" problem. Take for example our mailserver: When it handles a lot of email (lots of deliveries to Maildirs), it shovels the data into the Maildirs. But every now and then (the interval being >> 5s, the commit interval) the machine becomes unresponsive, your hear a lot of disk activity, and after about 12-18s the

Hi, Gettings lots of nasty ext3 errors, as follows: attempt to access beyond end of device 03:06: rw=0, want=1989391900, limit=55167178 EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,6)): ext3_free_branches: Read failure, inode=10092558, block=-1113264762 - several thousand of these in the course of a few seconds And lots of these: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,6)): ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in

Just looking through the 2.4.20pre changelogs, I see there's been a bunch of Ext3 patches since 2.4.19. I'm keen to take advantage of any bug fixes and performance improvements, but am nervous about using 2.4.20 until it's completed its release cycle. Is there any way to get a patch just containing the Ext3 changes? Are there any changes since 2.4.20 that are very important, either

Hi All, I had to reboot a machine as I lost the ssh connectivity to it. I could ping to it though. On rebooting, the dmesg buffer showed the following messsage hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, CHS=7520/0/155, sector=1820440 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:02 (hdc), sector 1820440 hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady

Get this warning on bootup ext3 file checks on 2.6.* kernels. Apparently harmless, but how do I fix this? _______________________________________________ debian-knoppix mailing list debian-knoppix at linuxtag.org http://mailman.linuxtag.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-knoppix

Hello, Is there some document about ext3 performance tuning and choosing the right type and size of journal? Except RedHat's white paper. From what I read I understood that for typical operations data=ordered is prefered. For the cases when there are many writes not appending to files data=journal is the choice. And if I want to get the most performance or in case where program is doing
