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

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).

Hello Is it possible to externalize the journal of an already existing (journal inside) ext3 FS ? Here's what I did to create a new FS with external journal for /dev/emcpowerl2 on /dev/emcpowerl2 mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/sda10 mke2fs -J device=/dev/sda10 /dev/emcpowerl2 it works perfectly , but can I do the same whitout reformating the original FS; /dev/emcpowerl1 which is in

first time poster here - hello everyone I started out with CentOS x86 5.3 with the following partitions on my source hard drive: /dev/hdc1 swap /dev/hdc2 / I did the following to migrate my CentOS box to the destination hard drive: 1. boot up with CentOS 5.3 livecd in rescue mode 2. partition destination hard drive (/dev/hdd) /dev/hdd1 swap /dev/hdd2 / 3. create the

hi! raid 1 arrays: I already have 2 systems running this same raid1 config. 1 sys has 2 120 gb 1 sys has 1 120gb and 1 200gb but matching the raid partitions this system here that is giving me fits right now has 1 250gb and 1 200gb. I tried it w/a new 250 gb for the 2nd drive but the same results. Will not boot. in druid, when I am config. the raid arrays, I always create the boot partitions

I posted this to the Fedora-list, but thought I might get some additional information here as well. I have a HD that refuses to mount with a 'bad magic number in super-block'. I'm running FedoraCore 6 x86_64.

Hi, I noticed that some of my ext3 partitions have a lost+found directory and some do not. Which is correct? mke2fs -j makes the lost+found but after a fresh install of 7.2 there are no lost+found on partitions that were formatted. I want to make them all the same but I am not sure which is correct. I do not plan on going back to ext2 but......... -- ......Tom Dysfunction The Only Consistent

I have a CentOS 4.2 system that was set up VERY quickly following the demise of its former life as a CentOS 3 server - you don't want the full story, but it had to be done quickly to get a company up and working following a slight disaster involving an electrician, a portable appliance safety tester and a pulled power cable - anyway, here's where I am at... Everything is running fine but

I am trying to create an additional domain and have created a configuration file based on the examples.

When a new system CentOS-4.4 is built the swap partition is always reversed... Note md3 below, the raidtab is OK, I have tried various raid commands to correct. swapoff -a raidstop /dev/md3 mkraid /dev/md3 --really-force swapon -a And then I get a proper ourput for /proc/mdstat, but when I reboot /proc/mdstat again reads as below, with md3 [0] [1] reversed. [root]# cat /proc/mdstat

I'm setting up a new fileserver. It has two RAID controllers, a PERC 3/DI providing mirrored system disks and a PERC 3/DC providing a 1TB RAID5 volume consisting of eight 144GB U160 drives. This will serve NFS, Samba and sftp clients for about 200 users. The logical drive was created with the following settings: RAID = 5 stripe size = 32kb write policy = wrback read policy =

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

Hi Ted and all, I have a couple of questions near the end of this message, but first I have to describe my problem in some detail. The power failure on Thursday did something evil to my ext3 file system (box running RH9+patches, ext3, /dev/md0, raid5 driver, 400GB f/s using 3x200GB IDE drives and one hot-spare). The f/s got corrupt badly and the symptoms are very similar to what Eddy described

Hi again! I would like to add an ext3 partition (eg. /dev/md11) with its external journal (on /dev/md21) to /etc/fstab in order to have it mounted while system-startup. Do I have to specify the external journal device in fstab or does the partition find its journal device by itself? If the first, ho should I specify it? I created the journal with mke2fs /dev/md22 -O journal_dev and the ext3
