Hi, We will have to go and use SuSE (30 servers) just because ext3 filesystem cannot be increase while the filesystem is mounted. I Don't understand why RedHat do not support filesystems that can do thing that ext3 cannot do. When is RedHat going to understand that in a production environnement (30 servers that is seems will be SuSE) we need extend filesystem online. IBM JS,

Hi I want my lustre do such things during OST failed: if some file has stripe data on th failed OST, any operation on the file will return IO error without blocking, and also at this moment I can create and read/write new file or read/write files which have no stripe data on the failed OST without blocking. What should I do ? How to configure? thanks! swin -------------- next part

Hi! Is there a way to view ext3 filesystem's maintained journal (in a human-readable-format)? I ask, because i have had a server crash before and now i'm wondering if i might take a look at last things that my server did straight before crash. I guess clarifying log insertions might be lost before buffers were flushed to disk. Thx.

I'm debugging a TxFax problem whereby the fax transmission fails. I suspect interrupt latency--some interrupt routine is holding its interrupt too long. I have all unnecessary services switched off and X is not running when I perform these tests. Some transmission are successful while others fail at random points. I've noticed that after I boot Linux, load zaptel, wcfxo, and wcfxs,

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

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

I need to reopen this discussion because it's impossible to run spandsp (and VoIP) under these circumstances. With zaptel unloaded, I see the following "vmstat 1" output: no swapping, an occasional disk output, +/- 1003 interrupts/sec., less than 10 context switches/sec., CPU idle 100%. A very quiet system. I load modules zaptel and wcfxo, and the system utilization stays the

I have a very weird problem between Liveice and Zope. I start LiveIce with a script shell that works well. Since I want to run it under a Zope page I made a Zope "external method" to run the script through a Python module. When I call the method, the script is called by a function in the python module, and runs, but LiveIce does not work (seems like it does not even start). The weird

Hello! I need to write a user space tool that can dump logical block addresses used by every file in a ext3 file system. For example, if file foo uses LBAs 2,3 and file bar uses LBAs 100,102,156, then the ouptut should read: FILENAME LBAs foo 2, 3 bar 100,102,156 Is there a tool that exists that can do this? If not, what would be a good strategy to write this tool. I am

Digging further into the FXO cpu spike vs clock issue, I removed the 18.432 MHZ crystal from an FXO card and replaced it with a 20.000 MHZ crystal. This of course forced the zaptel timing way off ~ 93% accurate using ztclock. I then proceeded to modify the wcfxo.c driver source code to set the proper PLL divider values to return the DAA clock back to 8 Khz. I came up with the values of N1=25,

Hi, I'm running into issues receiving faxes which, from what I have read, may be caused by frame slips. While I can find many posts saying to investigate it, I can't find any that describe *how* to debug the problem. Tried searching this list as well to no avail. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I'm running wbel, AMP 1.04, spandsp 2pre4. Faxing to a pstn on a

Could someone tell me what could be causing this failure on my system and a way to get around/fix it? Your help is very much appreciated. I'd just finished running lvm lvextend. "lvextend -L+L1G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00", after adding a new 1G partition (/dev/sda4) to /dev/VolGroup00. [root at ppstest13 ~]# ext2online -d -v /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ext2online v1.1.18 -

I made some tests to see how ext3 reiserfs 3.6 and jfs survive disk errors. The test is simple: format a partition, copy the kernel source, unmount and and do ?dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd bs=512 count=100000 seek=30000? to simulate a disk surface damage and then run fsck. seek=30000 ? this must be the second half of journal in reiserfs and ext3, for jfs I don't know Result: jfs: ---- total

Hello All I need to install Python 2.4.2 for installing Zope. What is the location for python that should be given in the ./configure --prefix directive? /usr/lib is for python libraries..isn't it and thats where I find most of python installed except for the python binary in /sbin Should I uninstall the normal python installed in Centos 4.2 by default before installing from source? Can

Hello, we're running RC2 and seeing a problem with the way SSL certs are handled by Dovecot. We've set ssl_verify_client_cert=yes and ssl_require_valid_client_cert=no. Using this setup we get (rather interesting) log entries like these: Jul 31 11:21:23 dev dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: <user cert> Jul 31 11:21:23 dev dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: <CA

Hi All, I have read many posts about problems with Asterisk on some systems. I also set up Asterisk on many different boxes. But I have never seen the following... There is an IBM X346 (3.4GHz Xeon) with one Sangoma A104. This system is currently idle, that means there is nothing running except Asterisk (1.2.7.1). We are handling no calls now, but if I do a vmstat, I get peaks in system load up

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 hash (this possible?) and cause

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? I

All, I'm requesting comments from the expert readers of ext3-users on these notes for tuning ext3 for performance. Most helpful would be feedback pertinent to RHEL 5; as XFS isn't supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux these items are an attempt to match XFS performance with ext3. These items were culled from a number of sources. Will they be effective for achieving the performance
