Ouch, here's an odd one.
Hi,
This is based on ext3 0.0.5e and latest LVM snapshot from Sistina CVS.
I've been playing with LVM snapshotting in that I'd been getting system
hangs and trying to help resolve that issue, but in the process today I
stumbled upon an interesting side-effect.
This is on my laptop, running 2.2.18 with loads of patches and above LVM
and ext3.
Basically, forewarning, all of this was done

ext3 crash
Hi,
One of my shared volumes crashed the other day on a RH-7.2, 2.4.9-31 system.
These are the first errors in the log:

Problem adding ext3 support to tomsrtbt
Hi,
I am upgrading the tomsrtbt rescue distribution from kernel 2.0.39 to 2.2.20.
Fitting a 2.4.x kernel on the floppy is not practical at this time.
I am trying to support both ext3 and reiser filesystems.
However, there are symbol collisions, it is impossible to use both.
Is there any chance of getting the 2.2.x patch fixed?
-Thanks

using non-default blocks per group
I've been playing with the -g switch to mke2fs, which controls the blocks
per group. This switch isn't documented. I've been using it to balance
metadata traffic on RAID 0.
This seems to work fine in ext2. Will I have any problems with ext3 where
the blocks per group is not a power of 2?

Changing root journal data mode
Hi,
I'm running 2.4.9-ac7 with ext3 compiled in, and I ran across this problem.
Now that I look back, it makes sence, but it wasn't obvious at first...
I wanted to change the journal mode on my / partition, so I changed my fstab
to:
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,data=journal 0 1
as well as several other partitions, and rebooted.
After rebooting I had a read only / that I

moving from 2.2 to 2.4
Hello guys,
I began testing ext3 w/ a 2.2.19 patched kernel several months ago. I'm now wanting to move to a new 2.4 kernel w/ ext3 and was wondering if there was any reason to create a new journal file. Also I noticed that the oldstyle journal files are named "journal.dat" and now they are named ".journal". Any suggestions for upgrading?
Thanks,
Nick

are quotas journaled?
quotacheck takes longer than fsck on our ext2 fileservers. Is this
redundant in ext3? Do I need data=journal?

fstype=auto breaks updatedb
It turns out that if you specify filesystem type `auto' in
/etc/fstab, updatedb (the thing which updates your `locate'
database) ceases to work.
Here's the contents of my /etc/updatedb.conf:
PRUNEFS="devpts NFS nfs afs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /net"
export PRUNEFS
export PRUNEPATHS

Removing ext3 to use GNU Parted
Hi. What are the right steps to convert a file system from
ext3 back to ext2 ? I need to use GNU Parted to resize my
root file system and Andrew Clausen said I have to convert it
to ext2, resize, and then convert back to ext3. My journal is
visible.
My initrd.img (from which I plan to use Parted) contains both
ext2 and ext3.
I compile ext2 as a module in my other boot images.

fsck still running as of ext2 (even tough it is ext3)
Hi,
I've downloaded and installed kernel-2.4.9 from rawhide in order to use ext3
support (I've also upgraded the necessary packages).
I've used tune2fs to make the current ext2 partitions (incluind /) and
changed fstab to reflect that.
In order to test if everything is ok (this is a test machine) I've switched
off with no shutdown. Except the / all other partitions accused

permission denied while trying to create journal file
Something bad must have happened when I first ran e2fstune on my root file
system. Now I cannot mount it ext3 and when I try to run tune2fs -j on it, I
get this error message:

There is a .journal file in /:

online resizing patch for ext3-2.4?
Hi Andreas,
Any plans to do a release of the online resizing patch for ext3-1.0?
I've put off asking about this until Al Viro's superblock handling
and other fixes were done, but now that LVM 1.0.1 seems to be approaching a
stable and -linus/-ac mergeable state, this would certainly make deploying
ext3+LVM a lot simpler.

another silly question
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
If ext3 is compiled in, how can you tell which version it is? For example,
how can I log into the systems I admin and tell if they are ext3 6b or 7a?

converting / to ext3-0.0.5d
Hi,
again I ran into some difficulties while setting up my / - partition
under v0.0.5.
With the conversion of my /home - partition went everything well.
Even under heavy load I didn't remark anything unusal - apart from a
little performance-issue.
My current setup is now the following:
/ - partition: no conversion possible: V1-journal with journal-data mode
/home - partition: conversion

ext3 mount problems
After a rather severe hard boot, my machine refuses to mount homes, which
are on an ext3 partition. Here is the error i get while mounting...
# mount /dev/sdc1
EXT3-fs: invalid journal inode
EXT3-fs: get root inode failed
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
or too many mounted filesystems
However I am able to mount it as ext2 and continue. I am using ext3-0.0.6b
