Right now I'm building a 2.4.17 kernel on an HPPA Linux system. The kernel it ships with supports ext2 only. Has anybody tried ext3 on HPPA? -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus Virchow-Klinikum Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Referat V A - Kommunikationsnetze - Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-916 "A man who

We have been using ext3 for our Maildir message store for the better part of a year now. I saw Stephen mention fragmentation and wondered if we might be affected from this as well.

On my Debian box: Package: lilo Version: 1:22.2-5 Severity: normal lilo seems to cause a kernel warning (see subject) when / is a ext3 partition. Maybe a kernel problem? Who knows.

Hi! I'm investigating the maximum DB size of mySQL on ext3 with a 2.4 kernel. * mysql is supposed to support tables up to 2^63 bytes * kernel-2.4.x supports files up to a size of 16 TB But what about the filesystem? What are the limits for the local filesystem (ext2, ext3, ReiserFS and XFS) ? -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus

Please have a look at this http://www.net.oregonstate.edu/~kveton/fs/ While I'm not doubting the numbers per se, I fail to see how the lines: ext3 w/ noatime and ext3 w/ noatime,data=ordered can actually be different. According to the docs, the default mode IS data=ordered! -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus Virchow-Klinikum

The ext3-2.4-0.9.17-2418p3 patch applies with 0 fuzz against both 2.4.18 pre 4 and 2.4.18 pre3-ac2.

We're using 2.4.15-pre5 on our Postfix mailserver. /etc/fstab: LABEL=/var /var auto data=journal 1 2 LABEL=/home /home auto exec,dev,nosuid,rw 1 2 Recently, we got the following entries in our /var/log/messages: Dec 1 00:42:05 postamt1 kernel: invalidate: busy buffer Dec 1 00:42:05 postamt1 last message repeated 329 times

Before switching to dovecot deliver for all local deliveries, I'm calling deliver from maildrop (yes, don't laugh).

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.

I'm lacking some understanding of how to tune / when to tune /proc/sys/vm/bdflush Where can I read up on this? Our current problem: Load is low, but ever so often the system decides to do some serious disk I/O which causes all processes to wait for disk I/O -- load explodes (rises linear up into the 20-30ies) just to fall linearly (spelling?) right after that. We think there might be some

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.

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

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

[ If this is explained somewhere else (HOWTO or FAQ), please give me a pointer. ] Is there any way to mix loop-device (and in particular) loop-AES and ext3 together in data journaling mode?

Hello, could You please help: I am looking for a way to formulate test accuracy measures such as test sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and correct classification rate using p/d/qnorm. The tests' primary values follow a bimodal distribution, which is modelled by a mixture of two normal distributions: p * dnorm ((x - u1) / s1) / s1 + (1 - p) * dnorm ((x - u2) / s2) / s2)
