What is really puzzling me is that the ataraid device (/dev/ataraid/d0p1 mounted as /bigdisk) 2x 123GB IBM Deskstar's is formated as ext2...top and ps etc... show a fight between kjournald and kupdated and all searches for kjournald or kupdated fights suggest ext3 issues... :-) It's a RedHat 7.2, 2.4.7-10 custom kernal (I added in the Promise FastTrak support and HIGH mem support to

Hello! I'm using a CompactFlash as storage device. Since those CF cards only have limited write cycles (CF does wear-levelling by itself, but you don't want to write too many timet so the card) i was wondering by what a factor the journaling of ext3 increases the write accesses to the CompactFlash compared to ext2. Thanks a lot already for your help! Sincerely Chris Braun

Hi, Can anyone tell me the ext3/ext2/vfs FS specifications: max number of files: ? max number files a dir can have: ? max number sub-dirs in a dir: ? max file size: ? max filesystem size: ? Dongsheng Song

Hi I am running a PC under Linux SuSE 7.2 with kernel 2.4.18, self compiled. I changed some days ago the partition of my second HD from ext2 to ext3 with the help of tune2fs -j /dev/hdb2 and everything was running OK. Today, I had a problem with a frozen display and I had to reboot the box cold. During the corresponding forced check I got the following messages: Quote --------- /dev/hdb2: reading

hi i got 2 questions and maybe someone could shed some light: a) i'm using kernel 2.4.17 and use ext3 in it. is it possible that the whole system is slower than with ext2? i switched back to ext2 (great feature!!!) and the system's response seemed somewhat better. should/could there be such a effect as double writing of journaled data? i didnt activate debugging (jbd). b) is reiserfs

Hi all (and developers in particular) I just got bitten by this Assertion. The one that starts as in the subject, and ends with: "!(((jh2bh(jh))->b_state & (1UL << BH_Lock)) != 0)" Google reminds me that it was mentioned a few times earlier this year, but I couldn't find any statement saying that it has been fixed. I got this in a 2.4.16 kernel, though the

Hello all. I am currently using ext3 0.0.5d with great success. I am a bit conflicted about what to tell the system regarding my root filesystem however. I have my root filesystem configured and working as an ext3 filesystem, but it is/was not without some fraught. Using RedHat 7.0, if you simply create your journal on the root file- system, figure out it's inode number, issue a lilo -R

Hello All! I've asked this question on others lists but didn't found any answer - full distro upgrade was only reasonable option. I understand why ext3 patches require up-to-date e2fsprogs - ext2 in heavy development. Q1: Why ext3 requires 'very' up-to-date util-linux? I've tryed to upgrade from tarball - but realized that I can run into problems with my distro. SuSE

Hi, I am using ext3 file system. Can I know the place where journal log is stored and more details about journaling. Quick response is appreciated.

Hi! A few weeks ago we upgraded 9 large webservers from ext2 to ext3. Since then we've seen very strange behavior on several of the machines. Permissions of files are repeatedly changed at random occasions. Several times, ownership of files have been totally mangled. Several users have logged in to discover that all their files suddenly are owned by another user! At two of these occasions

I am trying to compile 2.4.10-ac11 w/ the ext3-2.4-0.9.12-2410ac11 patch.

I need to find out what the maximum file size in an ext2/3 file system. It appears from the definition of the ext2_inode structure that since the i_size field is a 32 bit integer that the file would be limited by that. Thanks, Jason

Good morning, I try to use the last release of ext3 patch with a 2.4.10 linux kernel. I have two troubles : - when the kernel is booting, I receive : NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 208k freed Adding Swap: 128480k swap-space (priority -1) Adding Swap: 128480k swap-space (priority -2) Why my root

Hello Gurus, Greetings. I have been assigned some work on the development of a migration tool. The requirement is that it has to migrate the data on a UFS/VxFs filesystem to an ext2 filesystem. What are the technical apects I will have to look into to achieve the same? Is it possible to change the on-disk structure of the UFS/VxFs filesystem to an ext2 filesystem? The question may

Hi all i installed Redhat beta Roswell, then i updated to Kernel 2.4.8 patched him and installed the newest util-linux + e2fprogs without any custoumized Options. Bootloader is Grub. Now when i boot he says mount -O or -0 is an invalid Option. tune2fs -j /dev/hdXX says "The filesystem already has a journal" lsmod says that no jbd or ext3 Modules is loadet but i have pachted the Kernel

If a Xen guest has a bootloader configured, then it will fail to start on a blktap image. The problem is blkdev_uname_to_file, which cannot parse the "tap:aio:$filename" image strings: it tries to split the string apart at ":" and assign the result to a 2-tuple, and this results in a python error if the split results in three or more strings. The fix is to split only at the

Twice in the past week (when things have previously been fine for a year), a server has locked up spewing forth a continuous stream of ext3 write errors. This is to a bog-standard IDE disk, only thing on the controller, etc. Nothing EVER hits the logs. Not a single error. Every process that accesses the disk seems to fail. It looks like ext3 is failing every I/O request. If the machine is

Hello All, I have a production server that is running 2.2.20. This server *has* to be up 24X7 - what I'm wondering is: 1) Is ext3 on 2.2.20 rock stable? Or, would you recommend that I just stay with ext2? 2) I have looked far and wide for a the ext3 patch for 2.2.20 - where can I find it? 3) Were are the e2fsprogs that are appropriate to run with the 2.2.X kernel series? Thanks,
