similar to: visibility of ".journal" file

Hi, I am trying out ext3 with an external journal (on a battery backed RAM card). I use data=journal, and sync nfs writes go nice and fast :-) But.. I had to power cycle it (buggy VM.. grumble :-) and now I cannot get my filesystem back. It is only a test filesystem so I don't need the data. But I want this to work before I put real data on it. If I "fsck /dev/md1", it

Hi all i installed Redhat beta Roswell, then i updated to Kernel 2.4.8 patched him and installed the newest util-linux + e2fprogs without any custoumized Options. Bootloader is Grub. Now when i boot he says mount -O or -0 is an invalid Option. tune2fs -j /dev/hdXX says "The filesystem already has a journal" lsmod says that no jbd or ext3 Modules is loadet but i have pachted the Kernel

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

Hello On root Partition is .journal visible . On all other Partitions is invisible. At which way I can move it manually to a hiden inode? I have delete with chattr -i /.journal rm -f /.journal and installed ext3 with tune2fs -j /dev/hdb1 And /.journal is again visible! -- MfG / With best Regards Rusmir Duško Registered Linux user: #130654 http://counter.li.org

We are having problems remounting an ext3 filesystem using an external journal device. The filesystem in question was working fine until the server was rebooted. This is what we see on dmesg when trying to mount: EXT3: failed to claim external journal device. The external journal lives on a LVM2 logical volume and it seems to be accessible ( we can dumpe2fs and see filesystem information).

Hi, After mounting -t ext2 an ext3 partition, working with, do I have to recreate .journal when I remount the partition as ext3 ? Thanks ! Liu

Hi, please take my apologies if this is a FAQ but I couldn't find it anywhere. I do run all my machines on ext3 for quite some time. Now, by accident, I found out that some partitions have a visible .journal file while others do not. In fact on the two machines I checked .journal was visible in / but not in any other directory that is a mount point for an ext3 partition. I even tried

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'm using e2fsprogs 1.23 on a Roswell system with a patched 2.4.7 kernel (using patch ext3-2.4-0.9.5-247) and am trying to create an ext3 filesystem whose journal is located on another device. The incantation I'm trying is: mke2fs -j -J device=/dev/hdc2 /dev/hdc3 I keep getting an error along the lines of "mke2fs: Journal superblock not found". I've tried creating

Hello all. I was playing with tune2fs to see how large the .journal file should be on a 17G partition with 512M ram (it's 32M, by the way). I am using plain 2.4.7 with ext3-2.4-0.9.4-247, compiled with gcc-2.96-85 on a RH7.1 distribution with the relevant changes, i.e. e2fsprogs-1.22-1, mount-2.11g-4 and util-linux-2.11f-3 taken from rawhide. I don't have any ext3 statement in /etc/fstab,

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

Hi, Is it possible to use a separate journal device (one on a separate drive or a partition) shared among more than 1 Ext3 file systems ? I appreciate any inputs. thanks, Vijayan

hai is there any way to view the contents of ext3 journal form windows? regards ______________________________________ Scanned and protected by Email scanner -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm trying to setup an external journal device, but it won't mount as ext3. I can only mount it as ext2. Everything seems happy when I run the commands. It will work when I don't use the external device. This is on RH7.2, linux-2.4.18-rc2. [root@dhcp4 root]# mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/hdb5 [root@dhcp4 root]# mke2fs -j -J device=/dev/hdb5 /dev/hdb6 [root@dhcp4 root]# mount -t ext3

I have been playing with external journals some more and thought I should share some experiences. I am running 2.4.16 with the ext3 patches from Andrew Morton and e2fsprogs 1.25 I have an ext3fs filesystem on an 8 drive RAID5 array and place the journal on a partition of the mirrored pair that I boot off (all drives SCSI). I have tried pulling the power cable and seeing what happens. I finally

Hi Everyone, I have a server which has a raid array on /dev/sdb. After a crash I tried to mount the array and it failed with: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or other error dmesg reports: EXT3-fs: invalid journal inode. I tried to run e2fsck and it failed (The output can be seen below). If anyone has any suggestions on how I can restore

For some time now I have been puzzled as to why certain portions of my system boot were quite slow -- but only after journal recoveries. I was fearing that there was some ugly interaction between the recovery and the use of the journal shortly afterward but alas that is not the case. So just in case anybody else is seeing this problem and decides to try to hunt it down, let me save you some

Hi all, I'm trying to resize a journal on my root filesystem. This is Ext3, kernel 2.4.19, latest e2fsprogs + htree patch. I've remounted my root filesystem as ext2, but still when I 'tune2fs -O ^has_journal' I get ---- The has_journal flag may only be cleared when the filesystem is unmounted or mounted read-only. ---- So, how can I increase the size of the journal? I

Suppose I have the latest and greatest e2fsprogs. >From reading the docs I understand that 1) boot ext3, clean umount - you can remount ext3 or ext2 2) boot ext3, unclean umount - you can remount ext3 - you can e2fsck and remount ext2 Does this mean that normal linux init script e2fsck will do it, in case fstab says ext2? Or you should make sure to run e2fsck by hand with -f? 3) boot

Hello all. I am currently using ext3 0.0.5d with great success. I am a bit conflicted about what to tell the system regarding my root filesystem however. I have my root filesystem configured and working as an ext3 filesystem, but it is/was not without some fraught. Using RedHat 7.0, if you simply create your journal on the root file- system, figure out it's inode number, issue a lilo -R
