Hi all! While I was having some fun, testing different filesystems at home and making some benchmarks, I hit a bug when running Postmark in an ext3 partition mounted with data=journal. I repeated this test twice and got the same results under Linux 2.5, also it was not found while mounting with data=writeback or data=ordered or under Linux 2.4. I don't know if it's a know problem or

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. (orderd or journal) Recommend a journal

Hello, I converted one of my servers to ext3 and load average numbers went up. Now they are ~2-3 while on ext2 LA was <0.4. And I'm constantly seeing processes and kjournald in D state. vmstat confirms that. But even in such LA CPUs are ~99% idle. What can be wrong? RedHat 7.1 kernel 2.4.18-18.7.xsmp. SCSI cards: Compaq RAID array controller (cciss) and Q Logic ISP1020 (isp_mod).

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? Ie. bottom -> to -> top ext3 - loop-AES - ext3 raw - loop-AES - ext3 Or am I shooting myself to leg, I am? BR, Jani -- Jani Averbach

So I''m writing my (dis)adventure with btrfs here hoping to help the developers or someone with similar problems. I had a btrfs filesystem at work, using two 1TB disks, raid1 for both data and metadata. A week ago one of the two disks start having hundreds of relocated sectors, so I decide to change it. I remove the failing disk, mount with -o degraded and every works fine. The day later

Lo, Actualy i'm looking for documents about journalised file system, in order to be able to compare them self. I need accurate information if i want to make a good study. Thoses informations have to permit me to get answer about table like this : Features \ fs | xfs | ext3 | jfs | reiserfs | ------------------------------------------------- chattr | ? | Y | ? | ?

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. All over a sudden, dmesg reports: Linux version 2.4.21-ac1 (root@hummus) (gcc version 3.3 (Debian)) #1 Sun Jun 15 19:06:13 CEST 2003 ... kjournald starting.

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

Where can I find a patch for ext3 fs for kernel-2.4.2. Currently I'm using RH7.1 I dont want to upgrade to RH7.2!!! I just want to applay the ext3 patch for kernel-2.4.2 compile and use it. Thanks in advance! Sanat

I am using kernel 2.4 and ext3 fs on all partitions. I recently suffered a power outage while working on some documents. Some of them had previously been saved other had not. In either case none of the new data was restored. I am also finding other strange disapearrances like bookmarks and panel applets. My understanding of the ext3 fs is that these documents should have been restored

Just looking through the 2.4.20pre changelogs, I see there's been a bunch of Ext3 patches since 2.4.19. I'm keen to take advantage of any bug fixes and performance improvements, but am nervous about using 2.4.20 until it's completed its release cycle. Is there any way to get a patch just containing the Ext3 changes? Are there any changes since 2.4.20 that are very important, either

Hello All, Yesterday, one of our customer's cluster(2 box) server goes down after a I/O error during the backup procedure. When we turn on the cluster again, the 600M database file have been lost, disapear. Now, I'm with one of the disks (the other was used to rebuild the database server) and need to know how can I recover any piece of data from the disk. After the crash we mount the

I am running postfix on RH machine. decided to upgrade one of my machines from 7.1 to 7.2 - performance drop of 75 percent !!!!! moved back to ext2(remount partition as ext2) - performance is back. on the 7.1 upgraded to ext3 (only the disks), rebooted - performance drop of 70 percent... used a 2.4.17 kernel compiled by myself - a little faster then the last RH kernel, but still runs at third
