similar to: Problem with root filesystem

I am using a Redhat 7.1 system with the Kernel 2.4.10. I have the two partitions on the system: /dev/hda1 = / /dev/hb5 = /extra I was able to create the journal for both filesystems using the tune2fs -j command. I have also updated my "fstab" file to reflect "ext3" When I try to reboot the machine without unmounting the filesystems. It still shows that I have not cleanly

Hi there, I'm new to ext3, so I hope you won't find my question to be stupid. I also hope this isn't the 1,000,000th time someone posts it. My problem is the following: I converted my ext2 systems to ext3 using tune2fs -j /dev/sda2 (or 5 for my /home, 2 is my root) Then I modified fstab and put ext3 for each. After a reboot, the mount command says they are mounted as ext3. But when I

Hello, I just need a little clarification regarding applying the ext3 patch to the latest kernel. I have 2.4.7-10 that came with RH 7.2. I have ext3 running. I need to upgrade those (to get some USB device working). So I got the latest kernel, 2.4.14, patched it with the ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414 patch, picked ext3 from 'make xconfig', built the kernel, but the new stuff in /boot, etc.,

Erm, sheez having alot of problems :( I have just been reading all the archives on the mailing list for the past few hours and decided to try make the journal with: tune2fs -j -J10 /dev/hdc1 [root@tkw /]# tune2fs -j -J10 /dev/hdc1 tune2fs 1.20-WIP, 17-Jan-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Creating journal inode: done [root@tkw /]# cat /etc/fstab /dev/hdc1 /usr/local ext3

I thought I understood things, but I guess not. I recently configured a new system for a colleague as follows: 1. Redhat 7.1 install Dell Inspiron 8100 - three partitions on 30G - /, /boot, swap 2. Boot up 3. configure, make, make install of linux-2.4.12-ac3 (with approriate lilo changes) lilo (but no reboot until 8) 4. rpm -U mount-2.11g-5.i386.rpm (from rawhide)

Hi, I tried to convert my root partition from an ext2 to ext3 fs using tune2fs. I'm running a 2.4.10 kernel with ext3 support, but the partition is not mounted ext3. In fact the journal feature is missing from the superblock: # cat /proc/filesystems | grep ext ext3 ext2 # tune2fs -l /dev/hda6 | grep features Filesystem features: filetype sparse_super # ls -l /.journal

Hi I am running a PC under Linux SuSE 7.2 with kernel 2.4.18, self compiled. I changed some days ago the partition of my second HD from ext2 to ext3 with the help of tune2fs -j /dev/hdb2 and everything was running OK. Today, I had a problem with a frozen display and I had to reboot the box cold. During the corresponding forced check I got the following messages: Quote --------- /dev/hdb2: reading

I am using SuSE 7.3 compiled ext3 support into the kernel and installed it. All my partitions load up as ext3 except / . I ran tune2fs several times, still doesn't take on the / drive. Most recent dumpe2fs -h show no features on that drive=, I keep going around in circles, removing .journal from / and running tune2fs but it never works for / What am I doing wrong? ( thanks in advance)

Hi there, I tried to setup my linux box with an ext3 root file system. That failed because of wrong initrd settings. Sorry. Now the filesystem is marked having a journal but there is no /.journal file anyway. I tried to buikd that journal by hand (tune2fs -j /dev/hda3 - in my case). That fails also. :-( /sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/hda3 says: ... Journal UUID: <none> Journal

Hi, I just attempted to convert my only partition, /, to ext3. I downloaded the patch and compiled the kernel with ext3 support built-in, along with the JBD Debugging support. Compiled the kernel and rebooted, everything was fine. Did a tune2fs -j /dev/hda2 on the partition in single-user mode, with e2fsprogs 1.24a. It complained about not having enough space, or something like that, (I have

Hi. I was using 2.4.10 with ext3 0.9.10 and thought it was time to use -ac for the first time because 2.4.12-ac3 includes 0.9.12. I don't know what I did to get the following messages, but in my last boot I removed /etc/mtab (at runtime) and made it a symlink to /proc/mounts. Not sure if a bad idea, but the only problem until I rebooted was the need of losetup -d. When I rebooted, all

I'm using the ext3-patched version of Linux 2.4.13 (the patch from Andrew Morton's UOW site). I compiled both ext3 and ext2 into the kernel. I've also done "tune2fs -j /dev/hda3" and changed /etc/fstab to ext3. However, when I boot up, the filesystem still gets mounted as ext2. I've been trying to figure out why for many days now.. any ideas? Here's my setup:

I decided to start using ext3. My kernel 2.4.15p9. I downloaded and build util-linux-2.11m and e2fsprogs 1.25. I compiled ext3 in the kernel. I started converting my filesystems and thing went ok for the first few. I then started getting the following on each additional filesystem. [root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hdc4 tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001) Creating journal inode: done This filesystem

Something bad must have happened when I first ran e2fstune on my root file system. Now I cannot mount it ext3 and when I try to run tune2fs -j on it, I get this error message: permission denied while trying to create journal file There is a .journal file in /: [root@monster log]# ls -l /.journal -rw------- 1 root root 33554432 Sep 29 10:21 /.journal But dumpe2fs

Hello guys, I have some difficulties to understand what really are the numbers behing "df" and tune2fs. You'll find the output of tune2fs and df below, on which my maths are based. Here are my maths: A tune2fs on an ext3 FS tell me the FS size is 3284992 block large. It also tell me that the size of one block is 4096 (bytes if I'm not wrong?). So my maths tell me that the disk

Thanks for you help. I also tried adding some other informations as you suggest: I can also take into account: - "Reserved block count: XXXXXXX" from tune2fs that gives me the number of blocks reserved for root - Reserved GDT blocks: XXX But I didn't thought about the FS journal. How can I gather information about it? (it's size and any other information?) 2013/9/16

OK. Thanks for the journal information. I thought tune2fs -l and dumpe2fs were the same. In reality it's almost the same but not entirely ^^ I hear you about all the internal mecanisms that make the FS working or give it some features, and I do understand that it takes some place on the disk. However what I don't understand is why the number given in the "available column" is

Hi guys'n'girls, I think my question is : How can I tell a redhat 2.4.x kernel (via grub or LILO command-line parameters) that the root filesystem is ext2 and not ext3 ? I thought it would just look in /etc/fstab, but presumably it needs to know what fstype the root is before mounting it; the words 'chicken' and egg' spring to mind. Or does some initrd jggerypokery go on?
