similar to: ext3-2.4-0.9.0

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

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

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

I am in the odd situation of needing to revert my root partition back to ext2 so that it may be resized. I prefer to use Partition Magic at the moment and it can only work with partitions of ext2, not ext3. I believe that the documentation for ext3 exists at the main web site, http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/. That is my next destination but as the answer may not exist there, I

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

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

Hey how is it going. I can't seem to access the latest patch for 2.4.14 from the website @ www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Can someone send me the file (by email) or have a mirror/site where I can download from. Thanks ps - I know the purpose of the mailing list is not this, but this is my last resort. I really need to try ext3 on my laptop. thanks again exo

Hey, Thanks for sending me the patch Wiktor, but I was looking for the patch ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz . If someone has that let me know. Does it work well with kernel 2.4.14 (any installation issues ?) . Why can't I download from http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3 page. If someone can zip the gz patch and email it to me that would be awesome. My email client acts up sometimes.

Passes all my testing. http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ It's still at 0.9.13. No changes were made apart from resolving the fs.h reject, and retesting. People who have already applied the 2.4.13-pre6 patch to 2.4.13 needn't apply this patch.

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)

Is there a patch for 2.4.9 out there. I saw the ac one on http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ but cant fond one for the main branch Regards Robert Stanford

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

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 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 \

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

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

Hi all, I've downloaded the http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/ext3-2.4-0.9.13-2413.gz file and want to know what to do with it once it's unzipped. Is it a patch file or is it a compiled kernel? I need an ext3 patch for kernel 2.4.13, I then need to patch kernel 2.4.13 with win4lin. TIA Robyn

I've not been happy with the stories about the "stable" 2.4.x kernels. Everywhere I read people saying "not for production use". Would you recommend adding ext3 to 2.2.19 (ext3-0.0.7a) or moving to 2.4.1x and using ext3 there (ext3-0.9.12)? -- -IAN! Ian! D.
