Stephen et al, You may remember me raising the point that the new e2fsprogs (1.25 as I remember) griped about old journals not having all the appropriate fields zeroed. I've just discovered that the RH 7.2 installer produces journals (ie on partitions created as ext3 from within the installer) that flag these warnings with a modified 1.25 e2fsck (the mods being to clear the errors rather

I have been playing with external journals some more and thought I should share some experiences. I am running 2.4.16 with the ext3 patches from Andrew Morton and e2fsprogs 1.25 I have an ext3fs filesystem on an 8 drive RAID5 array and place the journal on a partition of the mirrored pair that I boot off (all drives SCSI). I have tried pulling the power cable and seeing what happens. I finally

Hi Ted and all, I have a couple of questions near the end of this message, but first I have to describe my problem in some detail. The power failure on Thursday did something evil to my ext3 file system (box running RH9+patches, ext3, /dev/md0, raid5 driver, 400GB f/s using 3x200GB IDE drives and one hot-spare). The f/s got corrupt badly and the symptoms are very similar to what Eddy described

Hi. I'm using e2fsprogs 1.23 on a Roswell system with a patched 2.4.7 kernel (using patch ext3-2.4-0.9.5-247) and am trying to create an ext3 filesystem whose journal is located on another device. The incantation I'm trying is: mke2fs -j -J device=/dev/hdc2 /dev/hdc3 I keep getting an error along the lines of "mke2fs: Journal superblock not found". I've tried creating

We are having problems remounting an ext3 filesystem using an external journal device. The filesystem in question was working fine until the server was rebooted. This is what we see on dmesg when trying to mount: EXT3: failed to claim external journal device. The external journal lives on a LVM2 logical volume and it seems to be accessible ( we can dumpe2fs and see filesystem information).

ext4 no longer requires a journal.

Hello On root Partition is .journal visible . On all other Partitions is invisible. At which way I can move it manually to a hiden inode? I have delete with chattr -i /.journal rm -f /.journal and installed ext3 with tune2fs -j /dev/hdb1 And /.journal is again visible! -- MfG / With best Regards Rusmir Duško Registered Linux user: #130654 http://counter.li.org

Hi all, I'm trying to resize a journal on my root filesystem. This is Ext3, kernel 2.4.19, latest e2fsprogs + htree patch. I've remounted my root filesystem as ext2, but still when I 'tune2fs -O ^has_journal' I get ---- The has_journal flag may only be cleared when the filesystem is unmounted or mounted read-only. ---- So, how can I increase the size of the journal? I

Just fired up a test machine on its first 2.4 kernel - specifically 2.4.9-ac16 (includes ext3 0.9.6). Had also upgraded e2fs tool set to 1.23. This box has previously had 2.2 kernels with Stephen's ext3 patches, and looks like it was last rebuilt from scratch in early March. I suspect it may have an old version 1 format journal on the filesystems. [Unfortunately I managed to destroy the

hai is there any way to view the contents of ext3 journal form windows? regards ______________________________________ Scanned and protected by Email scanner -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I installed RH 7.1/e2fsprogs 1.22 and util-linux 2.11f on a box with a 3ware 6200 and 2 20GB IDE drives and then installed 2.4.7 and ext3 0.9.5 I unmounted all the filesystems except / and did a tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 -j <device> on all the remaining filesystems This created a journal with a hidden file. >From what I recollect, doing a tune2fs on a mounted fs creates .journal file. I

I created on my 60Gb hdd (data=journal) journal with 16Mb size, i think it not enough. As it is possible to change size of journal ?

Hi, I'm using ext3 filesystems in embedded devices (storage is on 512Mb or 1Gb CF cards). A typical development cycle would see the filesystem created on the desktop PC running linux 2.4 (eg. RedHat 9). The CF card would be installed in the hardware and linux 2.4 (eg. Montavista Pro 3.1, on PPC) would boot from the CF. Recently I tried a linux 2.6 desktop (CentOS) for the same task and

Hello all! I've sent this to the raid and ext3 maintainers because both are involved. I just upgraded from 2.4.17 to 2.4.19, and have run into some trouble with journal.c:1732. Background: 2 40G drives, software raid level 1'd together, with ext3 on top. The bug occurs during writes. The filesystem is approximately 90% full. The system remains up after the BUG, but the partition does

For some time now I have been puzzled as to why certain portions of my system boot were quite slow -- but only after journal recoveries. I was fearing that there was some ugly interaction between the recovery and the use of the journal shortly afterward but alas that is not the case. So just in case anybody else is seeing this problem and decides to try to hunt it down, let me save you some

Hi, hoping that someone on this list can help me here is the Problem. After a crash it seems the journal could not be recovered. This is what mount gives: root@wuehlkiste:# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2, or too many mounted file systems and this is the corresponding logfile-entry: Nov 27 11:16:13 wuehlkiste kernel: attempt to

Hi, I just attempted to convert my only partition, /, to ext3. I downloaded the patch and compiled the kernel with ext3 support built-in, along with the JBD Debugging support. Compiled the kernel and rebooted, everything was fine. Did a tune2fs -j /dev/hda2 on the partition in single-user mode, with e2fsprogs 1.24a. It complained about not having enough space, or something like that, (I have

Hi, Is it possible to use a separate journal device (one on a separate drive or a partition) shared among more than 1 Ext3 file systems ? I appreciate any inputs. thanks, Vijayan
