2.4.20 and htree
Apologies for the newbie question:
I have a (stock) 2.4.20 build (*not* -ac), and I'm trying to work with
large ext3 directories. By large, I mean 160,000 files per directory. (Yes,
I know it would be better in nested directories but such is life).
I feel htree would benefit me. Close reading of the 2.4 changelog suggests
that htree isn't in there - only a patch to prevent non-htree

ext3 htree upgrade
Hi Guys,
I am planning on upgrading an existing NFS exported filesystem to the
ext3 htree patch on kernel v2.4.23.
Will the patch index directories automatically after tune2fs -O
dir_index or should I do an e2fsck -Dfy on the filesystem before
remounting?

Just out of curiosity: Is htree in 2.6.0-test11 ?

ext3 htree issues
Hi Guys,
I am running ext3 on kernel v2.6.5.
I have an ext3 filesystem with dir_index and data=journal for

Updated 2.4 htree patches available for 2.4.21rc5
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

[RFC] mke2fs with DIR_INDEX, RESIZE_INODE by default
I've been thinking recently that we should re-enable DIR_INDEX in mke2fs
by default. When it first came out, we had done this and were bitten by
a few bugs in the code. However, this code has been in heavy use for
several thousand filesystem years in Lustre, if not elsewhere, and I'm
inclined to think it is pretty safe these days.
Likewise, RHEL/FC have had RESIZE_INODE as a standard

ext3 2.4.21 htree tests
Hi,
Just thought I'd share some test results of mine in case anyone is
interested.
Basically the tests are siumulating what our product does with files -
although the tests do it a lot quicker (not as many files though).
The test is to create 1 million files (each containing the text of the
file number) spread over a number of directories. The files are then
removed in the same manner as

Hello,
How to upgrade existing ext3 partition to new features? Moved from

I had to install from c0d0p6 so partition could not be reformated during

htree stabilitity and performance issues
Guys,
I have recently applied the latest 2.4 htree patch on a heavily loaded
nfs server.
The nfs server serves around four very busy clients that deliver email
in maildir format and pop3/imap clients.
Being maildir I presumed that the htree patch would improve performance
- but I was wrong.
Load on the server went up by around 25-40%. After 3-4 hours of heavy
use the clients load went up to

performance issue with overwritten files
Hi Guys,
I have experienced a recent performance issue with an ext2 filesystem.
Essentially I have had several files that get overwritten on average
once per day.
This has been happening for about a hear when the program accessing and
reading those files started from several milliseconds to 15-20 seconds
to open and read the file.

htree and nfs benchmarks
Well here is what I got from testing htree with NFS.
http://labs.zianet.com/benchmarks_html/postmark_benchmarks_NFS_100_htree.html
It looks like htree improves performance when the storage device is
local(as per
my previous post) but it looks like htree degrades performance when used
in conjunction
with NFS. I am going to try it with gigabit ethernet when I get the
time to see if

Kernel panic in ext3:dx_probe, help needed
This may or may not be ext3 related but I am trying to find any pointers
which might help me. I got a number of HP Proliant DL380 g5 with a P400
controller and also two qla2400 cards. The OS is RedHat EL4 U5 x86_64.
Every time during reboot these systems panic after the last umount and I
believe before the cciss driver is getting unloaded. The last messages I
am able to see are:

filesystem
I hope this is the right list. I have created an ext2 filesystem and
removed the dir_index feature. I don't know if this kind of experimentation
is going to help me learn something about filesystems or not. Well what is
dir_index? Then I ran e2fsck -f -v -pD and the /dev file. Now what did I
remove? Htree. I guess it can always be put back and it's on an experimental
filesystem.

New htree patches?
Hello,
Could someone create some newer htree patches for the 2.4.x kernel?
There are some bug fixes in the 2.4.21-rc releases that would be nice to
have but the htree patches preceed those and they won't apply cleanly
to later pre/rc kernels.
It sounds like Marcelo may be about ready to put out 2.4.21 so it may
just be worth holding off until that happens, but I don't suspect much

[2.6] Perl weirdness with ext3 and HTREE
Hi
I have mailed about this previously, but back then it was not
really confirmed, so I have let it be at that.
Anyhow, problem is that for some reason 2.5/2.6 ext3 with HTREE
support do not like what perl-5.8.0 does during installation.
It *seems* like one of the temporary files created during manpage
installation do not get unlinked properly, or gets into the

e2fsck too old / ext3 HTREE errors
hi,
i have a tricky situation here and and don't know where to start with
the solution.
i happened to set up a linux system, but i had to install the base
system on another machine. i used e2fsprogs 1.30-WIP (30-Sep-2002) for
this.
now the machine is up and running, but i have to use e2fsprogs 1.27

EXT3 and large directories
I have an ext3 filesystem that has several directories and each
directory gets a large number of files inserted and then deleted over
time. The filesystem is basically used as a temp store before files are
processed. The issue is over time the directory scans get extremely slow
even if the directories are empty. I have noticed the directories can
range in size from 4k - 100M even when they are
