Hi, I've recently been playing about with recent ext3 0.0.6b and lvm 0.9.1 beta7 and am now able to trigger an "Attempt to refile free buffer" assertion. This seems to "only" occur when using ext3 on the root filesystem. Possibly that is related to the fact that the lvm utility I'm using to reproduce this problem is modifying data in /etc. The easist reproduction

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

I am trying to compile 2.2.20 with both ext3 and reiserfs (to easily migrate from reiserfs to ext3 :-) All patches merge nicly, but compile fails because "buffer_journaled" is defined by both reiserfs and ext3. I looked at the "2.2.14 ext3 + reiserfs incompatibility"-thread on the kernel list and figured out that renaming "buffer_journaled" in fs/buffer.c and

Hi guys, Is there any way to mount an ext3 fs that is on ro media? I get an error: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. EXT3-fs: write access unavailable, cannot proceed. Specifically this is with an LVM snapshot.

I've just started using rsync, and it's way cool. I checked the FAQ, the broken mailing list archive search function, and scanned the archives, but didn't see this mentioned. I presume it's a fairly common need: I'm mirroring files automatically and daily from one site to another, and anticipate the day when the size of the files may exceed the size of the destination disk.

Hi, A system running ext3 crashed this afternoon (nothing to do with ext3, bad network driver). Is was saving a file from emacs when it happened. The file system is 0.06b and had ordered data as the mount option. Let me emphasize this was running ext3 pure, not with SnapFS or InterMezzo layered on top of it. strace reveals that Emacs does open("existing file name", O_TRUNC |

Hi, Does anybody know where I can get an untouched smb.conf file? When I used samba-swat, it rewrote smb.conf and deleted out the comments that was in the original file that came with samba.

I have ext3 0.0.6b + 2.2.19 and cannot get ext3 to compile as a module. If I try to modularize it, or turn in off completely, the kernel build fails. Is there an easy fix for this, or is there something that I am missing? Thanks. Peter

Hi everybody! I'm using LVM and ext3 and am very satisfied with it. But now I have the following problem: I have a filesystem on a LV which is in use - files are created, modified and so on. To do a backup I'd like to create a snapshot of this volume which gets backup'd and then dropped. # lvcreate -s -L 20M -n snapshot /dev/vg/data lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be

Hi, Thanks to everyone involved in the Xen project. I think it is great and can''t wait to get my hands dirty with it. In the meantime, I cannot boot Dom0 on an ibm x335 and I am not sure what the problem is. Any insights are welcome.
