similar to: Auditing filesystems for Linux?

Everyone, We just had a pretty bad crash on one of production boxes and the ext2 filesystem on the data partition of our box had some major filesystem corruption. Needless to say, I am now looking into converting the filesystem to ext3 and I have some questions regarding ext3 and Linux software RAID. I have read that previously there were some issues running ext3 on a software raid device

I have a partition that is formatted as ext3 however, due to apparent performance issues (not sure if they are related to journaling - data=ordered, BTW) I have mounted this file system as ext2. The file system was clean when it was shutdown, and has been cleanly mounted as ext2, and I currently have no problems with the partition. My question is, is there any harm in mounting this partition as

Maybe I should've started a new thread with this question (it was in the /proc/sys/vm/bdflush thread), so I am now :) According to tests performed for this article: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs8/ "ext3's data=journal mode is incredibly well-suited to situations where data needs to be read from and written to disk at the same time." This is the

Hi, I'm looking over the Wine documentation, and it says that the particular version that looks like it will work with my version of RedHat 7.1 will only work if the glibcc is 2.2 or above. How do I tell? I"m a newbie and not sure exactly what the glibcc is. TIA

Hello, I downloaded and compiled the Mar 2, 2005 snapshot and compiled it with bsm auditing for solaris turned on. I've been noticing about a dozen or so of the following messages per day now.

A hardware vendor shipped us a product installed with RedHat 8.0 with all file systems created as ext3. This system has about 800 GB of space which we use for buffering email files (in RFC format). Several weeks into the project and with millions of emails stored, we started seeing "out of inode" (something like that) error messages in the /var/log/messages. Are inodes fixed on ext3

Hi, got a very severe problem. I have two hard drives in my RS server and I am getting the secondary drive removed. Here's the problem. After the secondary drive is removed, the server fails to bootup completely, crashing at fsck. The server boots up fine when the secondary drive is put back in however. Has anyone ever encountered this problem before? Could the problem be to references to

Hi... I am new to Linux (a few days), and I can't get to boot with a new compiled kernel (2.4.17). I wonder if any one has a copy of a successful config file? I get errors with regard to the number of cpu's, ext3, journaling, and others... For now I am (naively) assuming that I have a problem with a combination of settings in the config file.) Regards...

Greetings. Total newbie with Ext3. I selected when I upgraded my system to RH7.2. I upgraded my system again to RH8.0.

Can anyone tell me if there has been testing of using an SMP kernel on a UP machine and if that is bad? I have an ext3 filesystem that keeps getting corrupt. Certain directories only get I/O errors, trying to access beyond the end of the device. Thanks, Gabe

I''m looking for a way to generate some sort of logging/auditing of various events in my application, such as: - user logged in - user logged out - user clicked on a certain link - password attempt was wrong etc. For each, a numeric code along with some data (i.e. the username) would be great. Or even some sort of hash stored in the data field would be good. Another table could

Hello, I believe there may be a bug with accounts getting erroneously locked in v4.4.5+. I've checked at all the Internet facing services to find the source of account lockout and I've done packet captures at the DCs, but I cannot find the source of lockout. I've got several accounts locking out for seemingly no reason including some service accounts where the passwords

I have gotten the 2.4.13 kernel and the 2.4.13 ext3 patch. Unfortunately, it appears that some lines are wrapped, meaning that the long lines are actually on two lines, which throws the entire patching process off. Right now, my only recourse is to go through and manually fix the problem, which will take awhile, since there are more than 17000 lines of code! Is the problem on my end, or on the
