I think I have this one solved, I hope. I think what Andreas and I are running into are a few different assertions. One being the LVM lvm_do_pv_flush caused assertion which is related directly to invalidate_buffers() being called which then triggers refile_buffer() on a journaled buffer, which appears clean in all other ways according to the checks in refile_buffer(). The following is what

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

hi i got 2 questions and maybe someone could shed some light: a) i'm using kernel 2.4.17 and use ext3 in it. is it possible that the whole system is slower than with ext2? i switched back to ext2 (great feature!!!) and the system's response seemed somewhat better. should/could there be such a effect as double writing of journaled data? i didnt activate debugging (jbd). b) is reiserfs

Patch against linux-2.4.8 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The only changes here are merging up to 2.4.8 and the bigendian fix. linux-2.4.8-ac1 currently has ext3-0.9.3 which has no known crash-worthy bugs, but is old. I'm about to send Alan a diff which takes -ac up to 0.9.6. The changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.6 may be summarised as: - Simplify the handling of

I have ext2 compiled in the kernel (so i can mount the initrd image), all other filesystems are modules. The initrd image contains aic7xxx, jbd, and ext3 modules. /etc/mtab reports the filesystem mounted ext3 /proc/mounts reports it mounted ext2 /proc/filesystems lists ext3 If I umount other partitions that are ext3 the module becomes 'unused'. The filesystem was created

Hi, as I mentioned in earlier mail to ext3-users I have been getting some corruption on an ext3 filesystem that has been serving NFS. I am now confident that I fully understand the problem and have a patch. It only affects data=journal mode and I wonder if it might also be the cause of the corruption noted by a number of people on linux-kernel. First I will explain the problem. Then display

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

[cross posting cause I'm not sure who should get this email] I am attempting to make ext3 work on the parisc kernel tree. So far I have successfully patched and have made the kernel compile w/ only two line changes to the source. I got ext3 from the cvs, and the parisc 2.4.9-pa17 kernel and I've patched the parisc kernel w/ the add-to-kernel.sh script. after a bit of fighting I got the

Kernel 2.4.8 on an Athlon 500. e2fsprogs-1.23 ext3 compiled as a module. I used "tune2fs" to make /boot and /home into ext3, and remounted them OK. (I am so amazed to see the system come right back without an lengthy fsck on these two file systems after a power off! Well done!) I also used "tune2fs -j" on /, it created a /.journal file. The debugfs features command shows

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, - big and ugly mail. If you don't like them, delete it now :-) - I have collected and classified some information of: http://home.earthlink.net/~rwhron/kernel/bigbox.html And I observed that ext3 performance is worse than previous kernels(2.4.19...). -ac and -aa are here only as reference. Complete information is in the upper URL. dbench: Performance is worse. dbench (Numbers are in

RedHat has stripped out support for ReiserFS in their enterprise Linux products. It appears the unsupported CentOS kernel supports ReiserFS. Doesn't anaconda and the kickstart boot kernel also need to be enhanced to support ReiserFS as well? thanks for any help.

hi smbusers, would like to ask some questions about posix acls and reiserfs.help and info is much appreciated.(to make it clear i am running mandriva 2007 free edition with samba 3.0.23d installed.) 1. is acl supported now on reiserfs filesystems by default? 2. do i have to recompile the kernel and apply the acl patch? (i currently have the 2.6.17 kernel) 3.which is best for samba?xfs?ext3? or
