similar to: ext3 on debian-HPPA Linux?

Well I decided that 2am on a thursday night would be a good time to try this and I've hit a wall... most of the other errors were pretty easy to fix. I just don't understand this one: --snip--snip--snip-- gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -D__linux__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce

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

We have been using ext3 for our Maildir message store for the better part of a year now. I saw Stephen mention fragmentation and wondered if we might be affected from this as well. How can I find out how fragmented our message store is? -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus Virchow-Klinikum Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155

Hi! I'm investigating the maximum DB size of mySQL on ext3 with a 2.4 kernel. * mysql is supposed to support tables up to 2^63 bytes * kernel-2.4.x supports files up to a size of 16 TB But what about the filesystem? What are the limits for the local filesystem (ext2, ext3, ReiserFS and XFS) ? -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus

Please have a look at this http://www.net.oregonstate.edu/~kveton/fs/ While I'm not doubting the numbers per se, I fail to see how the lines: ext3 w/ noatime and ext3 w/ noatime,data=ordered can actually be different. According to the docs, the default mode IS data=ordered! -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus Virchow-Klinikum

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

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

[ 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

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 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
