Hello. We have, over the last few months, lost ext3 filesystems three times. The whole filesystem left unusable. nfs-server:~# mount /dev/rd/c0d1p1 /mnt -t ext3 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/rd/c0d1p1, or too many mounted file systems (in dmesg) EXT3-fs: journal inode is deleted.

Hi. I'm using Debian. Is this a Redhat-only list, or is it only hosted by RedHat? I recently changed my filing systems over to ext3, but deliberately left the forced boot check parameters alone so my system checks after 20 mounts. I notice that the fsck takes a good ten times longer than under ext2, to perform the cleanly unmounted check. (On the occasion where I did unmount dirtily, the

SUMMARY We are getting many ``Free blocks count wrong for group'' errors when running e2fsck on a 245-GB ext3 filesystem. This is when the file system is cleanly unmounted on a relatively quiet system to do a resize. From reading other messages here, my suspicion is that this is because we have e2fsprogs 1.32. Questions: * Should we use e2fsck/e2fsprogs 1.36 and will that probably

hi, i have a tricky situation here and and don't know where to start with the solution. i happened to set up a linux system, but i had to install the base system on another machine. i used e2fsprogs 1.30-WIP (30-Sep-2002) for this. now the machine is up and running, but i have to use e2fsprogs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002). it's a debian system and i wanted to stay sane & stable, hence using

Hi list this is actually a problem on a debian system but I thought you might be interested to hear of it and perhaps can offer some help. I have a woody box (dell pe750, dual cpu) running a kernel from backports.org (debian 'testing' packages built on a 'stable' box). The kernel version is 2.6.7-1.backports.org.1. This host is hooked up to an Apple Xserve RAID with a 2.3Tbyte

I've Found a page with interesing discussion about images backup http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-28255.html This give a "dirty" solucion for remove special thing of ext3 (Selinux remove resize_inode and ext_attr features) witch cause the error in ghost. I hope somebody help with the problem of norton ghost and clone centos 4. :) ----------- sfabkk 2005-07-11,

(There really doesn't seem to be a dedicated e2fsprogs list, so this was the next-best place I could find. I don't place much faith in the sourceforge forums..) The filesystem in question is a 480 gig ext3 partition, on a hardware RAID5 controller. It's approximately 90% full, with something like 115K files. Kernel 2.4.20-pre4, on a Duron 900. As I type this, e2fsck has used up

Hello All, I have a production server that is running 2.2.20. This server *has* to be up 24X7 - what I'm wondering is: 1) Is ext3 on 2.2.20 rock stable? Or, would you recommend that I just stay with ext2? 2) I have looked far and wide for a the ext3 patch for 2.2.20 - where can I find it? 3) Were are the e2fsprogs that are appropriate to run with the 2.2.X kernel series? Thanks,

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

Greetings! Need your help fellow penguins! Strange behavior with fsck.ext3: how to remove a long orphaned inode list? After copying data over from one old RAID to another new RAID with rsync, the dump command would not complete because of filesystem errors on the new RAID. So I ran fsck.ext3 with the -y option and it would just run in an infinite loop restarting itself and then trying to correct

Hi there, For years I've been using the ext3 file system without to think that it can ever gets broken so bad. This was until last week when a box that I have running Linux from a SanDisk CF went down. Since then I am struggling with this CF trying to understand what is happening. The CF is SanDisk ultra II 1GB. On this I have 4 partitions all of them with ext3: boot / swap

Hi, I just converted all my hard disk filesystems from ext2 to ext3. This worked perfectly fine for all non-root fs, but I am having trouble converting the root fs, too. Here's what I did: 1. rebuilt my kernel (2.4.20, x86) with ext3 support linked in statically - no module. 2. Added a journal file to my root fs using 'tune2fs -j'. 3. Added 'rootfstype=ext3' to the

Hello, I have a 1.3TB ext3 filesystem that has been in service for about 3 months. About 6 days ago the Emulex fibrechannel controller logged a SCSI error and the filesystem changed to RO. It appears that the filesystem instantly changes to RO and prevents the journal from working, therefore invalidating the filesystem. The filesystem was unmounted and a remount was attempted. The mount failed

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

Hey all, Had a power failure and subsequent ext3 disk corruptions. Attempting to fix, but not working. Its a 120 gig IDE disk, 3 partitions. /boot, /, and swap. Basically can't boot up since the box can't get to the system files in /usr/ or anything. So I'm booting off of a FC2 disk 1 in recovery mode and trying to fix the filesystem with e2fsck The boot partition cleaned up

Hello, last fsck says my /tmp and my /home files system has errors, here is the log from fsck using the read-only option: How to recover from this savely? How to avoid this in future? i am using kernel 2.4.18 with the acl-patches from acl.bestbits.at and the patches for the fileutils and e2fsprogs. If you need more informations please mail.
