How to determine Ext2/3 FileSystem state ?
hi all,
I intend to write a snapshot module for Ext2/3 file-systems.
For that i need to make sure that FS is in consistent state before taking
snapshot.
For ex. in case of UFS, the superblock has a fs_clean flag which is set to
be
FSSTABLE to tell that its in consistent state. (otherwise its set to
FSACTIVE)
I m not able to find any such information for Ext2/Ext3.

unmountable ext3 root recovery
After a (hardware) crash yesterday, I was unable to boot up due to
unrecoverable ide errors (according to the printk()s) when accessing
the root filesystem's journal for recovery.
Unable to recover, I tried deleting the has_journal option, but that was
disallowed given that the needs_recovery flag was set. I saw no way
to unset that flag.
Unable to access the backups (they were on a fw

RAID-5/LVM/ext3
Hello:
We trying to configure one machine (Compaq Proliant ML760) with 8 disks
(72GB each disk) with RAID. We are thinking to use ext3 and LVM in RedHat
7.2 for manage one filesystem with 500GB. This filesystems have to store
near off 5.000.000 of files.
Is this possible? Could I resize the filesystems/volume to 1TB? what are the
ext3 and LVM limits? someone have tested sismilar environment?

core dumped messages from tune2fs
I decided to start using ext3. My kernel 2.4.15p9.
I downloaded and build util-linux-2.11m
and e2fsprogs 1.25.
I compiled ext3 in the kernel.
I started converting my filesystems and thing went ok for the first few.
I then started getting the following on each additional filesystem.

High load on Squid server after change from reiserfs to ext3
We are running Zope behind Squid 2.4Stable6 with squid in acceleration mode.
The squid box (dual Pentium III 1 GHz, RH 7.2, Linux 2.4.9-21smp, 2GB Ram)
has during busy hours a normal load of 0.2-0.3 . From time to time
we see spikes over some hours where the load average of the machine
is higher than 1.5 although there are no spikes in the CPU
utilization. Also there is no increase in the number

Crashed filesystem - directory recovery
Hello folks,
I had an ext3 filesystem mounted as the root of a Linux MOO server.
Unfortunately, the filesystem was on one of the infamous DTLA-3070xx
drives - and the drive decided to fail at the worst moment it
possibly could, trashing the filesystem fairly well.
The situation is as follows: I used dd_rescue to create an image of
what is left of the filesystem, but I ended up with some 65MB

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

how to use LVM snapshot with ext3 - VFS lock patch applicability
Hi,
I have an ext3 file system on top of LVM and i use journaled mode.
I would like to make a snapshot of my filesystem while the application is
running in order to backup
on another physical storage.
For that i have to create an LVM snapshot and then to mount it in read-only
for copying the content.
This is not possible as far as ext3 needs to do a log replay at mount time
( AFAIK).

Ext3 indexed directory extension.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
Searching in the ext3 filesystem mailing list I have seen that there is an
indexed directory extension for it.
Is this extension stable code ?
Has anyone test it ?
How may I obtain and install it ?
Is it available in any of the last kernel releases ?
Greetings.

RE: ext3fs still uses sequential search of file names in director ies?
Didn't hear back from anyone regarding if there is a way to determine if I
am running the ext3fs with htree. Is there a way I can do it without
checking the src code since I am running the precompired redhat kernel with
8.0? Perhaps an entry under /proc somewhere?

Caveats to mounting ext3 as ext2?
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

change raid1 from ext2 to ext3
Hi,
I want to change my running software raid1 from ext2 to ext3. I'am
currently running RH 7.1 with 2.4.18. The raid constist of two 40GB
disks on a seperate UDMA Controller (HPT370). The system is installed
on another disk. Can I just use tune2fs -j /dev/md0, or do need to
rebuild the raid from scratch with ext3?
Many thanks for your help!

ext3 partition still gets mounted as ext2
I'm using the ext3-patched version of Linux 2.4.13 (the patch from Andrew
Morton's UOW site). I compiled both ext3 and ext2 into the kernel. I've also
done "tune2fs -j /dev/hda3" and changed /etc/fstab to ext3. However, when I
boot up, the filesystem still gets mounted as ext2. I've been trying to
figure out why for many days now.. any ideas?
Here's my setup:

Ext3 -> Ext2 ?
Hi there,
I tried to setup my linux box with an ext3 root file system.
That failed because of wrong initrd settings. Sorry.
Now the filesystem is marked having a journal but there
is no /.journal file anyway. I tried to buikd that
journal by hand (tune2fs -j /dev/hda3 - in my case).
That fails also. :-(

Bad directories appearing in ext3 after upgrade 2.4.16 -> 2.4.18+cvs

I recently upgraded one of my fileservers from 2.4.16 to 2.4.18 plus
