[ 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

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.

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 | ? | ?

I am having major problems on one of my file-servers. I have the root filesystem on an Ext3 software RAID 1 between four SCSI drives. It had been running for about two months without problems, but today I found it was having some trouble with unlinked inodes and I/O errors on certain files. I took it down to single-user mode, and ran fsck on it. That operation mixed up files like /etc/hosts with

Hi All, I had to reboot a machine as I lost the ssh connectivity to it. I could ping to it though. On rebooting, the dmesg buffer showed the following messsage hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, CHS=7520/0/155, sector=1820440 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:02 (hdc), sector 1820440 hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady

Hi... I am new to Linux (a few days), and I can't get to boot with a new compiled kernel (2.4.17). I wonder if any one has a copy of a successful config file? I get errors with regard to the number of cpu's, ext3, journaling, and others... For now I am (naively) assuming that I have a problem with a combination of settings in the config file.) Regards...

Dear Listmembers, I try to work with samba (newest rpm for SuSE, 3.0.1.pre2, but that does not matter, the effect was there in 2.2.7 and 2.2.8a too) on an sufficient armed system (the system does not matter either, I have tried it on different machines) using ReiserFS (version 3.6.4-12). When accessing one share from one machine (i.e. copying two or more files at a time to or from the share)

Hello All, I have been doing some research to find a method to increase the performance of writes to the hard drives in my servers. I am running Samba and all writes to the server hard drives are taking at least 3 to 10 times (It varies) the amount of time it took to write such files on our older Windows NT 4.0 File Server. The following information is provided to keep this issue on track...

Dr. Tweedie, et al.: I recently formatted a partition using EXT3, and after a "df -h" I get 14GB of space. When I reformatted the partition with ReiserFS, and did a "df -h" I got 16GB of space! Now the partition was setup to be 16GB via fdisk, so 16GB is correct. However, why does EXT3 loose 2GB of space? The journals cannot be that big!?! Very Respectfully, Stuart

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

I think I have this one solved, I hope. I think what Andreas and I are running into are a few different assertions. One being the LVM lvm_do_pv_flush caused assertion which is related directly to invalidate_buffers() being called which then triggers refile_buffer() on a journaled buffer, which appears clean in all other ways according to the checks in refile_buffer(). The following is what

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

There's a new set of ext2/3 patches for 2.4.21-pre5 available at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/extfs-update-2.4.21pre5-2 and in broken out form at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/broken-out-2.4.21pre5-2 New to this patch set include: * A kludge to help htree work well with Linux's NFS implementation * Allow the orlov allocator to be disabled via a

RedHat has stripped out support for ReiserFS in their enterprise Linux products. It appears the unsupported CentOS kernel supports ReiserFS. Doesn't anaconda and the kickstart boot kernel also need to be enhanced to support ReiserFS as well? thanks for any help.

hi smbusers, would like to ask some questions about posix acls and reiserfs.help and info is much appreciated.(to make it clear i am running mandriva 2007 free edition with samba 3.0.23d installed.) 1. is acl supported now on reiserfs filesystems by default? 2. do i have to recompile the kernel and apply the acl patch? (i currently have the 2.6.17 kernel) 3.which is best for samba?xfs?ext3? or
