similar to: 2.2.19+0.0.7a assert in transaction.c:journal_start()

Hi, I have a server configured as follows: a standard 2.4.18 kernel, IDE discs, 1Gb RAM (not all used), load avg around 1-2. a large partition, formatted reiserfs within large partition are 80 300Mb loopback file systems, formatted ext3. I got the following assertion yesterday which forced a lot of processes into D state. I'm not sure how easy it is to reproduce this problem.

One of our servers (false) just oopsed. In the middle of lunch. Any advise? On console: false kernel: Assertion failure in journal_start() at transaction.c line 245: "handle->h_transaction->t_journal == journal" In kernel log (ran it through ksymoops): Nov 13 12:35:37 false kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 Nov 13 12:35:37

Hi everyone, I've been reading this mailing list once in a while and I have seen that there are quite a few bugs that were resolved since EXT 0.0.7a. I was wondering if using 0.0.7a with kernel 2.2.19 is dangerous or ok because I have had some corrupted files once in a while (using compact flash disk CF on IDE bus). 0.0.7a is the only patch available for kernel 2.2.19 to my knowledge are

Hello, Now that kernel 2.2.20 is out with security fixes, I'd be interested in using it with ext3. The latest patch for 2.2.19, 0.0.7a, applies with some offset (both with and without kdb), and even compiles (without kdb), but I scarcely know what I am doing so haven't tried it yet. Could people in the know enlighten me on that point? I guess there is little chance for another ext3

Hi all, ext3-0.0.7a is now out, at the usual places: ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ and propagating now from ftp.*.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/ This fixes one major bug in ext3 recovery for metadata-only journaling. Because recovery can also happen in e2fsck, users should also upgrade to at least e2fsprogs-1.21-WIP-0601 (also provided at the above ftp sites).

The latest errata kernel-2.2.19-6.2.7.src.rpm contains old patches linux-2.2.17-ext3.patch linux-2.2.17-kdb+ext3.patch Is there somewhere a 0.0.7a version of the above that will patch cleanly in the errata kernel (considering all the other patches that get applied before ext3)? I read about ftp://ftp.clusterfilesystem.com/pub/ext3 but when I do $ rpm -qpl

Hello Since 2.4.20, we have problems with ext3. Machine is 2xPentium III (1GHz), 2GB RAM, 1GB swap. RH 8.0 (glibc-2.3.1-21), gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 We have a lot of users: oceanic:~# wc -l /etc/passwd 6694 /etc/passwd connected via SAMBA (2.2.7) from 200-300 Windows-XX workstations Partition with ext3 looks like this: oceanic:~# mount |grep ext3 /dev/sdb5 on /home1 type ext3

Apologies for a vague and wooly bug report, but I can't reproduce this on my test systems - I *can* reproduce it on some production ones like a flash.... but that seems to upset our operations guys :-( I am getting a set of crashes on some boxes in the field, apparently related to high network traffic (this only occurs on boxes with ethernet connectivity back to the centre rather than the

Hi, Doing the following I can generate an assertion in ext3 0.0.7a. I have an ext3 filesystem on /foo. I export /foo via nfs. I then mount via localhost:/foo onto /mnt. Start up a dd to generate a file on the nfs mount. (cd /mnt; dd if=/dev/zero of=./dd.out bs=1024k), then on the localhost filesystem /foo I rm the file. rm -f /foo/dd.out. This results in "ext3_free_inode: bit already

Hi all, and particularly Andrew and Stephen, I recently "upgraded' one of my NFS fileservers from (patched)2.4.18 to 2.4.23-pre7 (in order to resolve a HIMEM related memory pressure problem). Unfortunately I have experienced what appears to be a deadlock. The one I will describe was experienced while running 2.4.23-pre7, though I had a very similar problem in 2.4.22 (but

All, I've posted here earlier regarding a kernel crash we were seeing on kernel 2.4.13, on our embedded hardware... We have recently upgraded to 2.4.16, and are still seeing crash issues. We are running Vanilla 2.4.16 (including some of our own device driver modules) on a PowerPC 7410, with the root partition being EXT3. We have a test which creates a EXT3 partition, coppeis /usr/bin to
