A patch that implements acls on ext3 for kernel 2.2.x is available at http://moldybread.net/patch/kernel-2.2/ It looks to be stable. Beat it, break it.

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.

To all: I was wondering if there was any talk regarding the possible inclusion into either kernel 2.4.x or 2.5.x of a general and standard ACL interface for file system security. I've used the ACL patch from acl.bestbits.at on ext3 & love it dearly except for the quota issues. Despite those issues I absolutely could not live without ACL's on large file servers with a few hundred or

Hi! Has anyone got any "success story" or any good advice of using Posix ACLs (or Enhanced Attributes) with Samba? I'm using Debian woody with 2.4.22 linux, ext3fs and Samba 3. -- Pirkka

Can anyone tell me the history of CONFIG_EXT{2,3}_CHECK? There is code for a "check" option for mount if these options are enabled, but there's no way to enable them.

Hi there! I have a Samba 2.2.2 PDC on linux 2.4.13 with ACL (acl.bestbits.at) support installed. There seems to be a problem with Roaming Profiles. Win2k with local NTFS filesystem will never delete roaming profiles (yes, I have regedited the DeleteRoamingCache to 1). In fact, any time TheUser logs back in, a new folder named TheUser.OURDOMAIN.??? (where ? is an integer) will be created,

A new work-in-progress release of the Extended Attribute and ACL patches for ext3 is now available at http://www.moldybread.net/patches/kernel-2.4/ This release is against linux-2.4.10-ac12 with ext3-2.4-0.9.12. Status: Extended attribute sharing now seems stable. Performance problems appear to have been addressed. Known Problems: Error message: "VFS: brelse: Trying to free free

We''ve been keeping around the inode sequence number in hopes that somebody would use it, but nobody uses it and people actually use i_version which serves the same purpose, so use i_version where we used the incore inode''s sequence number and that way the sequence is updated properly across the board, and not just in file write.

Hi, why is there a window between statements "err = ext3_journal_get_write_access(handle, this_bh);" and "ext3_journal_dirty_metadata(handle, this_bh);" ? In my test, there is an error in journal_dirty_metadata: jh is null thanks! D.Yang April 1, 2004

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

(sort-of xposted from linux-kernel) Hi, I am wondering how to interpret this error message, which popped up on a 2.4.26 SMP x86 box two days ago: EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck init_special_inode: bogus imode (37316) EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck init_special_inode: bogus imode (37316) EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck The problem is, the error message doesn't

I had the following spat out by syslog on my (2.4.18-pre7-ac3) mailer / web server: Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:611: "!(((jh2bh(jh))->b_state & (1UL << BH_Lock)) != 0)" One of its partitions froze hard--I've rebooted it, and I have an oops which the BUG() triggered which won't decode at the moment, but I'll sort that one out

I have been read through the samba documentation that said we can use w2k ack to control samba file or directories permission but when i try to do ( add user to share the file )this I got an error message said that access is denied. I have set the nt acl support = yes. I am using samba 2.2.4 and redaht 7.2 and w2k professional as client. --cksoo -------------- next part -------------- HTML

Hello, Over the last month or so, I've noticed the following error showing up repeatedly in my system logs under kernel 2.4.18-ac3 and more recently under 2.4.19-rc1: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,3)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28 I've now been able to capture the following Oops before the system went down entirely: Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:611:

Hi. I want to use ACL on my RH-9.0 box (x86), so I got ext3 ACL patch from http://acl.bestbits.at/ and tried to apply it to the kernel that ships with RH (2.4.20-8). The patching fails on some vm file so I got a vanila kernel 2.4.20, apply the patch and compile it. This works fine. Also RH-9.0 precompiled Samba 2.2.7 works fine with ACL. I connected to my share with WinXP and do some testing

There's a new set of ext2/3 patches for 2.4.21-pre5 available at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/extfs-update-2.4.21pre5-2 and in broken out form at: http://thunk.org/tytso/linux/extfs-2.4-update/broken-out-2.4.21pre5-2 New to this patch set include: * A kludge to help htree work well with Linux's NFS implementation * Allow the orlov allocator to be disabled via a

This may or may not be ext3 related but I am trying to find any pointers which might help me. I got a number of HP Proliant DL380 g5 with a P400 controller and also two qla2400 cards. The OS is RedHat EL4 U5 x86_64. Every time during reboot these systems panic after the last umount and I believe before the cciss driver is getting unloaded. The last messages I am able to see are: md: stopping
