Rebooting to try 2.4.7-ac4, I had Xfree86 crash on exit and hang the machine (it does that once a month or so; this notebook gets booted quite often). After fscking the root and another ext2 partition, the system got to the big ext3 partition and just went dead. No message, no disk activity, no keyboard response. I powered down and rebooted 2.4.7-ac3 patched with ext3-2.4-0.9.5-247ac3, and that

Patches against 2.4.10-pre4 and 2.4.9-ac9 are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ It's a fairly large change. The most significant parts are * the inclusion of Stephen's error-handling work, which is designed to remount the fs read-only in the presence of software and hardware errors, rather than forcing a panic. * Stephen's fix for the journal_revoke assertion

An ext3 patch against linux 2.4.10 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ This patch is *lightly tested* - ie, it boots and does stuff. The changes to ext3 are small, but the kernel which it patches has recently changed a lot. If you're cautious, please wait a couple of days. The patch retains the buffer-tracing code. This will soon be broken out into a separate patch to make

An update to the ext3 filesystem for 2.4 kernels is available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The diffs are against linux-2.4.7 and linux-2.4.6-ac5. The changelog is there. One rarely-occurring but oopsable bug was fixed and several quite significant performance enhancements have been made. These are in addition to the performance fixes which went into 0.9.3. Ted has put out a

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

The latest ext3 patches against linux-2.4.7 and linux-2.4.7-ac3 are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Changes since 0.9.4 include: - Fixed a bug which could trip an assertion failure when using small journals under heavy load in full data journalling mode. - A patch from Ted plus the latest version of e2fsprogs plus the stomping of various ext3 bugs gives us preliminary

Hello everyone, I'm new to the list and I hope I'm not repeating something that was already asked for. I had been using the stock kernel that came with Mandrake 8.1 which is kernel 2.4.8-26mdk (not sure what things are applied to a stock 2.4.8) I have my root partition /dev/hda1 on ext3 Mandrake took care of all this, by putting the ext3 module in initrd. I just dl'ed 2.4.13

Hi there, I am trying to find information about running ext3 with 2.4.x From the looks of the list it seems to be supported however I could only find a patch for 2.2.19, if it is somewhere in the 2.4.x kernel I can't find where. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you Ken

Hi all, I followed the instructions on http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html, and make bzImage gave the following: ..... make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/arch/i386/lib' ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.5/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \

Any idea of a timeframe for a 2.4.8 ext3 patch release? I tried patching the 2.4.8 tree from ext3 CVS, but the kernel source files didn't end up nice enough to successfully compile. -- ___ ___ / _ | / _ \ Ari Pollak - ari@aripollak.com - www.aripollak.com / __ |/ ___/ /_/ |_/_/ NAVY: Never Again Volunteer Yourself

Hi, this site: http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ says "Forbidden" when I try to access .... , where can I download the ext3 patch for 2.4.15 ? Thank you Nikolai

Download details and documentation are at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Changes since ext3-0.9.13 (which was against linux-2.4.13): - Fixed a null-pointer dereference oops which could hit on SMP machines. This fix was applied to 2.4.12-ac6, but the oops has never been reported against -ac kernels. - Large amounts of developer debug code has been removed. This will now be

An ext3 update for Alan's latest kernel is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The version of ext3 in -ac kernels currently stands at 0.9.6, so this is a fairly large diff. However most of this code has had a decent amount of external testing via the 0.9.9 patch. The changelog since 0.9.6 is below. Please test it if you can, and all being well we shall ask Alan to merge it a

All, I know that there is no official port to Kernel 2.4.4, thus I may not get any help, however I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction for my problem. I am currently forced to use kernel 2.4.4 for reasons out of my control (embedded board). Here are the exact versions of everything I'm running: ExT3 Version: ext3-2.4-0.9.6-248 Util Version: util-linux-2.11f.tar.bz2 e2fs

A little bugfix delta. I don't believe there is a need for x86 users to upgrade. http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ - Fix unaligned access on Alpha - Fix build with CONFIG_JBD=n - Speed up log_do_checkpoint() - significant benefits for journalled data mode. - Fix possible oops in log_do_checkpoint(). - Comment out unused journal_release_buffer().

ext3 patches against kernels 2.4.5, 2.4.6-pre5 and 2.4.5-ac17 are available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Almost all testing thus far has been against 2.4.5. Known problems in 0.0.8 are: - A theoretical deadlock with quotas in -ac. This is proving impossible to demonstrate, and will be fixed in 0.0.9. - A fairly straightforward deadlock with quotas in 2.4.5[-pre]. This

Just wanted to note that you also need "mount" => 2.11 to use "auto" in fstab. On the homepage http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ it only tells you to use "util-linux" => 2.11 Also, a note about SILO not working with unclean Ext3 would be nice (i.e. make a dedicated ext2 /boot partition if you want to run ext3 on Sparc). /Martin (very new to this list)

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

Hi, I just tested ext2 and ext3(2.4-0.9.6) with 2.4.8-ac8, using bonnie++-1.01. The hardware is an old Pentium 100 box with 48M RAM and a 16.6MB/s EIDE harddrive. The test results(see attachment) show ext3 is a lot slower than ext2 in most aspects. Does anybody get better results? Wenzhuo
