similar to: A question about compiling the kernel with ext3 support

Hi, I seem to have a problem with compiling the kernel 2.4.13 on redhat 7.2? It would compile fine but have errors about ext3 support on reboot. I download ext3-2.4-0.9.13-2413.gz to my linux machine to enable it be useful with ext3 support but when I try to gunzip it with the instructions gunzip < ~/ext3-2.4-0.9.13-2413.gz | patch -p1 i get gunzip: stdin: not in gzip format I get an

Hi, I've got a Redhat 7.2 system: Celeron 400 512MB RAM 18GB SCSI HD (/boot (ext2fs), / (ext3fs)) 40GB IDE HD (/ (ext3fs)) I run a bunch of services on the box (apache + mod_perl, MYSQL, Samba, etc) but the system is not under heavy load. This system has performance issues reading/writing to the ext3fs filesystems. The performance issues cropped up when I installed Redhat 7.2. Previously

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

If I can squeeze a message between the discussions on security (:-)) I have been trying to compile a kernel on an x86_64 box under CentOS4.1 and now 4.2. The problem is that neither make xconfig or make gconfig work: make gconfig * * Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that * the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed... * You need gtk+-2.0, glib-2.0 and

What would be the proper steps to upgrade to 2.6.11 on centos 4.0 This is what I think... tar -zxvf linux-2.6.11.6.bz2 cd linux-2.6.11.6 make oldconfig - enter for all choies presented vi .config - change 8250_NR_UARTS to 36 to support 4 - 8 port rs232 cards make 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?

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...

Hi! I've upgraded my seawolf to ext3fs with the packages from Roswell (kernel, filesystem, mount, ....), but when doing 'tune2fs -j', it mentions 'Ext3fs version 0.0.5b'...? Isn't version 0.0.7a the latest?? Why isn't that version included in the Roswell kernel, but an older version is? And how can i upgrade my version of ext3fs? Thanks! Bart Verwilst

I am attempting to recompile the kernel with the following steps.

John, Was there a reason for the (2) make oldconfigs? just curious This all worked rpm -i kernel.XXX.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target i686 kernel.XXX.spec cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 make mrproper cp /boot/config-2.6.9-11.EL .config make oldconfig

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,

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

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.

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

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?

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>

I tried making my own LiveCD according to the instructions on the project site. First, applause, the basic procedure works like a charm. It's really easy to do and works right from the beginning (I'm building it inside a VM). I tried the minimal and the desktop version (with a few changes). I have encountered a few problems and have some questions. The German keyboard I set in the

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
