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

[ NOTE: I'm putting this off-topic thread back on the Ext3 list, temporarily, as I hope _someone_else_ can help this gentleman better than I have. With each response I get 10 more questions, 5 of them have already been answered and another 5 that utterly confuses me on what he is trying to accomplish, because he's changing his priorities (to often conflicting ones). ] "IT3 Stuart

I've seen this come up on occassion, but every NAS OEM that uses NVRAM I've ever talked to over the last 18 months won't tell me anything about their equipment nor their suppliers. Recently, Micro Memory contacted me. Is anyone here using their products? FYI, their 64-bit PCI 128MB-1GB NVRAM board is here:

I'll try to keep this short (yeah right! ;-). Being primarily a user, I find myself bitching, analyzing and complaining about things I don't stop to understand half the time. I've done more than may share in this regard the various filesystems over the years. I've done a few LUG and tradeshow presentations over the past year, trying to inform different peer admins what Linux JFS

Dr. Tweedie, et al.: I have decided to move to EXT3 from ReiserFS if I can get tail packing for EXT3. Last I had asked about it, someone had written some sort of patch but it was not official (I think), and was questionable if it had worked or not. Can someone tell me the status in the instant? If I installed 2.4.18 or a later kernel, would tail packing be part of EXT3? How would I turn it on or

Dear Sir or Ma'am: I am interested to think about implementing EXT3 onto my servers here. However, I have some concerns and am hoping someone can address them. 1) If I install ext3 what is the likelihood that the extent of damage caused by its bugs will be limited to just the fact that the journals may not work properly? Alternatively, do I risk real damage to files and the filesystem at

EXT3 developers: I am curious, if EXT3 is currently being used on the root partition in "data=ordered" mode (the default as I understand), and I want to have the it come up in data=journal mode, how do you effectuate this conversion? I would also be curious how to know if anything special is required for doing so for the /boot partition as well. I believe that with the /home partition,

I guess we're just circling around the main issue here: it's great you really like Reiser and think it's k3wl or whatever, but this isn't the place to come tell us about

I'm a bit surprised: everybody's talking about ReiserFS and even IBM's alpha-staged JFS (a lot of promise here, though - sometime, in the future) and XFS has been barely mentioned! I've been using XFS for 8 months now, with nothing but excellent results. I have a test machine, that duplicates *exactly* the hardware/software configuration of the main server and I'm using it to

Dear R users, the help for findInterval(x,vec) suggests a logarithmic dependence on N (=length(vec)), which would imply a binary search type algorithm. However, when I "test" this hypothesis, in the following manner: set.seed(-3645); l <- vector(); N.seq <- c(5000, 500000, 1000000, 10000000, 50000000);k <- 1 for (N in N.seq){ tmp <- sort(round(stats::rt(N, df=2), 2));

Hello, To compile a custom kernel, I downloaded 2.6.29.1 from kernel.org and followed the tutorial at: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Kernel.org_Linux_on_Xen Used a supposedly working .config file for the compilation (generated by my provider to compile his xenU kernels), set /dev/xvd* device nodes both in the domU conf file (disk, root): disk = [

Hello, I'm using a defualt everything install of 7.2 (kernel 2.4.7-10 #1) with a 27 gig ext3 / partition. The problem that I am experiencing is this: If I create more than (about) 3.5 million distinct files on the partition, touch, mkdir, cp and all other file creation methods complain that there is no available space on the disk. A df shows me that the partition is only 65% full.
