similar to: ext3 patch for 2.4.15

Hi there, I am trying to find information about running ext3 with 2.4.x From the looks of the list it seems to be supported however I could only find a patch for 2.2.19, if it is somewhere in the 2.4.x kernel I can't find where. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you Ken

Hi, I had ext2 and 2.4.7 kernel , quotas were working ok. Now when all my filesystems are ext3 I figured out that quotas are not working.... if I do quotaon , repquota, quotacheck the programs return 0 without any output..... Does ext3 supports quotas? Nikolai

Hello , I use kernel 2.4.7 patched with corresponding ext3 patch. The problem I have is that when I startup I get a panic in a kernel. I started to debug util-linux and found that mount does a segmentation fault when trying to open /etc/mtab file. The segmentation fault ocurrs on open() call inside mtab_is_writable() procedure: printf("mtab_writable: pass 1\n"); if (ret ==

An update of the ext3 journalling filesystem for 2.4 kernels is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Patches are against 2.4.6-ac1 and 2.4.6. Changes since 0.0.8 include: - Multiplied the version numbering by ten to cater for bugfix releases against the 0.9.0 stream. - The main thrust has been the removal of a number of changes in the core kernel which were required

I am in the odd situation of needing to revert my root partition back to ext2 so that it may be resized. I prefer to use Partition Magic at the moment and it can only work with partitions of ext2, not ext3. I believe that the documentation for ext3 exists at the main web site, http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/. That is my next destination but as the answer may not exist there, I

Patches against 2.4.10-pre4 and 2.4.9-ac9 are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ It's a fairly large change. The most significant parts are * the inclusion of Stephen's error-handling work, which is designed to remount the fs read-only in the presence of software and hardware errors, rather than forcing a panic. * Stephen's fix for the journal_revoke assertion

Hi all, I saw that the u32 selector can match a PATTERN so I can use it to filter on a port value like : tc filter add dev eth0 parent 10;10 protocol ip prio 100 u32 match ip sport 0x0014 0xffff flowid 10:100 (filter on the ftp-data (20) source port) But is there a method to filter all the source ports > 40000 for example ? regards, ------------------------------------------------ Franck

Hey how is it going. I can't seem to access the latest patch for 2.4.14 from the website @ www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Can someone send me the file (by email) or have a mirror/site where I can download from. Thanks ps - I know the purpose of the mailing list is not this, but this is my last resort. I really need to try ext3 on my laptop. thanks again exo

Hey, Thanks for sending me the patch Wiktor, but I was looking for the patch ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz . If someone has that let me know. Does it work well with kernel 2.4.14 (any installation issues ?) . Why can't I download from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3 page. If someone can zip the gz patch and email it to me that would be awesome. My email client acts up sometimes.

Passes all my testing. http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ It's still at 0.9.13. No changes were made apart from resolving the fs.h reject, and retesting. People who have already applied the 2.4.13-pre6 patch to 2.4.13 needn't apply this patch.

Just wanted to note that you also need "mount" => 2.11 to use "auto" in fstab. On the homepage http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ it only tells you to use "util-linux" => 2.11 Also, a note about SILO not working with unclean Ext3 would be nice (i.e. make a dedicated ext2 /boot partition if you want to run ext3 on Sparc). /Martin (very new to this list)

Is there a patch for 2.4.9 out there. I saw the ac one on http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ but cant fond one for the main branch Regards Robert Stanford

An ext3 patch against linux 2.4.10 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ This patch is *lightly tested* - ie, it boots and does stuff. The changes to ext3 are small, but the kernel which it patches has recently changed a lot. If you're cautious, please wait a couple of days. The patch retains the buffer-tracing code. This will soon be broken out into a separate patch to make

Hi. I just installed ext3 for 2.4.5 from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ but couldn't find anything about converting my root partition to ext3. 2 partitions are now ext3 after I umount and tune2fs, but what should I do with / ? I tried init 1 and umount, but tune2fs would fail because it was on read-only fs. Another question is if I can now build ext2 as a module, and if it's

Hi all, I followed the instructions on http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html, and make bzImage gave the following: ..... make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/arch/i386/lib' ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.5/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \

Download details and documentation are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Changes since ext3-0.9.13 (which was against linux-2.4.13): - Fixed a null-pointer dereference oops which could hit on SMP machines. This fix was applied to 2.4.12-ac6, but the oops has never been reported against -ac kernels. - Large amounts of developer debug code has been removed. This will now be

Hello there, i am continuing with the development of the iproute GUI. I was wondering if there is a xml parser for the set up of the queues. I have been searching but i cant find any... anyone?

Patch against linux-2.4.8 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The only changes here are merging up to 2.4.8 and the bigendian fix. linux-2.4.8-ac1 currently has ext3-0.9.3 which has no known crash-worthy bugs, but is old. I'm about to send Alan a diff which takes -ac up to 0.9.6. The changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.6 may be summarised as: - Simplify the handling of
