similar to: ext3fs for 2.4.5

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

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,

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...

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?

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.

Hi. I just installed ext3 for 2.4.5 from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ but couldn't find anything about converting my root partition to ext3. 2 partitions are now ext3 after I umount and tune2fs, but what should I do with / ? I tried init 1 and umount, but tune2fs would fail because it was on read-only fs. Another question is if I can now build ext2 as a module, and if it's

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>

An update of the ext3 journalling filesystem for 2.4 kernels is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Patches are against 2.4.6-ac1 and 2.4.6. Changes since 0.0.8 include: - Multiplied the version numbering by ten to cater for bugfix releases against the 0.9.0 stream. - The main thrust has been the removal of a number of changes in the core kernel which were required

This maybe early, but is there an ext3fs patch for the 2.4.16 kernel -- also, in general where does one download the lastest ext3fs patches?? I found the 2.4.14 patch a few weeks ago on in the linux.org UK site, but all the patches appear to be taken off that site...Any help would be most appreciated... Thanks, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone, The Linux Coda drivers and the ext3 patches don't seem to get along very well, at least in Linux 2.4.7. I've got a stock 2.4.7 kernel with a patch applied to the USB drivers (for a sony digital camera; see http://www.sujal.net/tech/linux/ just a change in unusual_devs.h). After I applied the ext3 patches from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ . Basically,

Does redhat 9 come with htree optimizations for ext3fs?

I subscribed this morning but have no traffic. Sometimes no traffic is a good thing. Since I've gone to ext3 on my 2.4.5 kernel, the only time I ever had problems was when the filesystems were not unmounted cleanly and the journal was lost. About 60 minutes of searching and reading and I found out how to recreate the journal. So far, so pleased with ext3fs. --

I'm NOT the authority here, but AFAIK, Htree is presently available only as a patch for 2.4 kernels (which includes RH8). I think that Htree was still beta code at the time RH8 was frozen (and may still be, from RedHat's perspective). I do not have the impression that the Htree patch has been applied in any standard RedHat kernels or kernel updates. I hope I am wrong, and that

Andreas was kind enough to point out that not neccesarily all ext3fs have htrees ready to go. I am running redhat8.0 out of the box. How can I check if ext3fs with htrees is running? I can download the kernel source, but I don't know what options were used when it was built by redhat. Thanks much for all of your help. -Parker -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Dilger

Bummer. Does anyone have a url that describes the 2.4 patching process? Any claims on stability?

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
