similar to: Ext3fs performance/kjournald deadlock issue

Hello, we have just observed a rather annoying behavior one of our servers. Specifically, when writing data to a file on an ext3fs filesystem at around 1.5 MB/sec, network connectivity suddently started to show signs of lag. The ping would spike up to ~1 second every 5 seconds or so. This affects the server in question and all hosts routing traffic through it (i.e., it's not a userland-only

Hi, Also I do have some problems mounting an ext3fs which gets just mounted as an ext2fs. (Yeap, I looked a little bit around in the mailling list and found similiar problems which haven't help me ;-( ) I have a root ( /) and a /mnt partition. both are converted via tune2fs -j into a journaled fs. my fstab looks like this: /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults

We run several RH7.2/7.3 servers & recently 2 of them, although still working fine, have started to show kjournald as generally using over 50% cpu% on 'top' - virtually continuously. Free cpu% generally less than 25% now! Both machines are also using software RAID5 EIDE ....... otherwise are standard server installs. Any info on what kjournald is & why it should have recently

Hi, I am trying to compile the kernel with ext3 support and i downloaded the 2.4.13 kernel and patched it for RH 7.2 to update from the 2.4.7 precompiled ext3fs kernel. Then i selected ext3 support and and the JBD debugging support under 'make xconfig.' Then i ran the following commands make clean make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage

Dear list, pardon my ignorance on ext2/3fs. Is the ext2fs' 4Tb file system and 2GB maximum file size limit still true in ext3fs?

Good evening. We have some heavy-loaded servers on ext2, and we want to migrate to ext3fs. But we need full and stable quota support. I have headrd that there are some problems in quota usage under ext3fs. Is it true? Should we decline the ext3 usage as impossible in our servers? We need high-level stability in our server (hosting). Thanks before. -- Best regards,

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...

Didn't hear back from anyone regarding if there is a way to determine if I am running the ext3fs with htree. Is there a way I can do it without checking the src code since I am running the precompired redhat kernel with 8.0? Perhaps an entry under /proc somewhere?

Old edit-livecd just kept adding to the ext2 fs image which meant it never decreased in size even if files were removed. New functionality does multiple passes of ext2fs creation. First pass creates a new ext2fs from the image file inside the squashfs. This first pass is to allow the user to optionally increase the filesystem size. If the -s parameter is omitted the existing size is used and

Patch set fixes issues with image size increase when using edit-livecd Also address issue with ext4 root fs

I am trying to determine the optimal filesystem for accessing large numbers of files (25,000+) in a single directory. I have read that ext3fs uses a sequential search algorithm and wanted to verify that this was still indeed the case since this article was published a year ago. http://bulmalug.net/body.phtml?nIdNoticia=1154 <http://bulmalug.net/body.phtml?nIdNoticia=1154&nIdPage=7>

While investigating erratic performance on one our our servers, I'm getting some very odd performance stats coming from vmstat. What initially appeared to be happening is the machine goes into a hard loop in some mod_perl webserver code. Now there still may be an issue with the code, but my code examinations show no possible way this could be happening, but what I'm writing to you

(Sent to linux-raid, linux-kernel and ext3-users since I'm not sure what type of issue this is) I've got a test system here running Redhat 7.1 + stock 2.4.9 with these patches: http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.9/linux-2.4.9-NFS_ALL.dif http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/ext3-2.4-0.9.6-249.gz http://domsch.com/linux/aacraid/linux-2.4.9-aacraid-20010816.patch All three patches applied

Hi, I have ext3 installed against the 2.2.19 kernel. I am able to make the ext3 file system and mount it. I am not able to install the ext3fs for kernel-2.4.5 . I am unable to add the ext3 patch to the kernel. In the directory ~andrewm/linux/ext3/, which is the patch for 2.4.5 kernel. ( I can only see the patches for 2.4.6 and 2.4.7 ). Also, is there any prescribed pattern for

This maybe early, but is there an ext3fs patch for the 2.4.16 kernel -- also, in general where does one download the lastest ext3fs patches?? I found the 2.4.14 patch a few weeks ago on in the linux.org UK site, but all the patches appear to be taken off that site...Any help would be most appreciated... Thanks, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------

Does redhat 9 come with htree optimizations for ext3fs?

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 all, The problem I have now is similar to previous posts in this list before, but I couldn't find the solution. If the solution is there, please refer me to that, and I apologize for not being able to find it. I recently installed RH7.3, with ext3 fs, on several identical computers. The processor is AMD 1900+, the motherboard is ASUS A7V266-C, and the hard drive is a Maxtor 40GB, 7200

I have tried everything to compile a new kernel on my 7.2 base system. I have used 2.4.13-ac6 and 2.4.13 w/ ext3 patch. I have compiled with ext3 built-in and with ext3 as module (with the initrd). I have a SCSI system so I have done the previous variations with both SCSI support built-in and modular (with the initrd). The error I get is: Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: mount: no

I'm NOT the authority here, but AFAIK, Htree is presently available only as a patch for 2.4 kernels (which includes RH8). I think that Htree was still beta code at the time RH8 was frozen (and may still be, from RedHat's perspective). I do not have the impression that the Htree patch has been applied in any standard RedHat kernels or kernel updates. I hope I am wrong, and that
