similar to: filesystem corruption

All, Can anyone provide me a link to the patches necessary for a 2.4.x kernel to run (and, hopefully, a listing of the version(s) of other utilities that are required)? Sorry to ask such a ridiculous question on a mailing list, but the stuff @ redhat is for the 2.2.x kernel, and I can't seem to find much in the way of a home page/ftp site/anything. Thanks in advance. Derek R. --

Given that no 1.36 has appeared from Fedora Core, I thought I would create the rpm myself. I took the 1.35-11.2 src.rpm from FC3 and updated the spec file for 1.36. However, the build fails. Has anyone successfully created a 1.36 rpm for FC3? If so, what did you need to do? Gene

The following simple patch (against openssh-3.1) moves the test for a trailing dot in the client-supplied hostname so that it is also stripped when using the server option HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly. Please CC me on any replies, as I'm not subscribed to the list. Cheers, Bill Rugolsky --- ssh/auth2.c~ Sun Feb 24 14:14:59 2002 +++ ssh/auth2.c Wed May 8 16:26:26 2002 @@ -709,15

Well, I had the first use of the recovery mode on the RH 8.0 install CD today on a dev system. I changed the mount option for the root partition to data=writeback to see what all the claimed speed increases are about, and the system failed to mount the partition r/w, so the resulting boot failed. After search usenet, it seems other RH folks have had this problem, possibly because it is

hi, I recently changed my filesystem to ext3 (from ext2), and since then, my hard disk sometimes seems to 'hang' a few seconds (in fact the whole system hangs then, and only the hd LED is on), before continuing normally... This happens for example (not always though) when I untar an archive and try to ls in the newly created directory... Is there an explanation for this? And if so,

Conclusion: DO NOT USE SOFTWARE RAID-1 WITH EXT3 I've started with this conclusion cause i am positive that raid-1 and ext3 are causing data corruption. I've upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2 and from the first date i run into data corruption problems @ least once per day (i was monitoring once per day only) after 7 days we bought a brand new server cause the previous was very old and i thought

Lo, Is there already a patch out for latest 2.4.6-ac release? I'm pretty sure that the ext3 patch -ac2 can not be applied on this release. Bye. -- the trees the birds the air the grass the water the flies the trees

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. Regards, Bill Rugolsky

Back in May there was a discussion regarding ext3 + LVM. Were the issues raised by Jay Weber, Andreas Dilger, and others ever resolved satisfactorily, in either the 2.2 or 2.4? Thanks, Bill Rugolsky

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

Hello to everybody here, We have a strange problem with ext3. df reports 28 of 30 GB to be used (rest may be slack) which it calls 100% used. But with du we can only find 13 GB, most of it actually in pretty large files (archives). Where are the other 17 GB gone?

Hello, Many warm thank yous to Bill Rugolsky Jr. and Stephen Tweedie for their help on this one. Both pointed out that since the file system is journaled, if the primary box (nas1) were to crash, the secondary box should mount the ext3 file system without any problems. Depending on the nature of the journal (metadata journaling and/or data journaling), we may have little or no data loss. Bill

Hi all, Is it possible for ext3 to give a list of changed files over time? Currently we use rsync to back up our server, but it takes > 24 hours to backup the full file system. Ideally I'd like to use the file system to give me a list of files that have been created/updated and I'll back those up. Is this possible? Cheers Stuart

The various ac patches have had ext3 for some time. What is the difference between using Alan's patches vs the ext3 patches?

I've not seen this asked since I've been on the list; but was wondering... I'm currently sticking to the 2.2 line and have no plans to move to 2.4 right now. Is there any attempt to back port some of the changes in the newer 2.4 line back into 2.2? ext-0.0.7a.tar.gz has been stable thus far, but it's getting kind of old. NEM

Hello, does anybody know if there is an ext3fs patch for kernel 2.4.2-2 that is shipped with redhat 7.1? I was abel to fins patches only for 2.4.6 and 2.4.7. Please try to help ASAP. Best regards, Imad Ossaily.

Hi, Arthur found out that ext3 is not changing the ctime on the "old_dir" (the object that is being renamed), but ext2 does.

Hi, I am using ext3 file system. Can I know the place where journal log is stored and more details about journaling. Quick response is appreciated.
