Hi Linus, Here are some 2.6.20 fixes for ocfs2. The patch by Zhen Wei isn't really a fix, but a very small amount of support for a feature which is mostly implemented in ocfs2-tools. Considering it's just a single attribute export via configfs, I'd say it's pretty safe to merge. Please pull from 'upstream-linus' branch of

Hello, I have today released an initial version of extended attributes and access control lists for ext3 (patch against the 2.4.13-ac3 kernel). Eric Jarman <ejarman@acm.org> has contributed a lot to this effort. Since I'm not very much into the innards of ext3, can some of you please take a look at the patch, and see whether it contains any flaws (and tell me which flaws)? Thanks! The

Hi all, this series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the kernel. Changes since v2: - more minix error handling fixes Changes since v1: - drop the btrfs changes (queue up in the btrfs tree) - drop the finaly move to jfs (can't be done without the btrfs patches) - fix the existing minix code to

The following patches implement indexed directory support in Ocfs2, mostly according to the design doc I wrote up a while ago: http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/IndexedDirectories The patches have been rebased on top of 2.6.29-rc2. It should be trivial to put them into merge_window. Things are what I'd call complete now. I'd like to get these into the merge_window branch

We''ve been keeping around the inode sequence number in hopes that somebody would use it, but nobody uses it and people actually use i_version which serves the same purpose, so use i_version where we used the incore inode''s sequence number and that way the sequence is updated properly across the board, and not just in file write. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

Dual Opteron system running ext3 atop drbd (network RAID) devices, which, in turn, are atop LVM logical volumes. The underlying device is hardware SCSI RAID via a LSILogic HBA. The kernel is vanilla 2.6.13 on a Gentoo-based system. A panic occurred, which contains references to ext3 code. I'm not sure how others manage to get these typed out, but I'm manually typing it from

Hi, here comes the next version of OCFS2 lockdep support. I've dropped patches with fixes from the series since they were already merged. As Joel suggested, I've simplified the main patch a bit so that we don't have ifdefs around lock declarations and there are also a few other minor improvements. Honza

hello! i'm using redhat 7.2 with ext3 as my primary fs on kernel 2.4.17 + grsecurity + acl after 2-3 days of uptime i'm expiriencing problems... i attached below excert from my system logs. machine stops responing for a few seconds and after then it looks, like it's in normal operation again. the only problem is load, which is incrementing constantly, but cpu is 99% idle... after

Hi, We hit an interesting issue with Ext3 in ordered data mode. A large file was truncated (open with O_TRUNC) and immediately over-written with a single write call. The write call returned ENOSPACE, but a check for space (using essentially statfs) promised that there would be plenty of space. The reason turned out to be that the blocks freed by the truncation were not yet available to the

Hi, The following patches comprise the bulk of Ocfs2 updates for the 2.6.30 merge window. Aside from larger, more involved fixes, we're adding the following features, which I will describe in the order their patches are mailed. Sunil's exported some more state to our debugfs files, and consolidated some other aspects of our debugfs infrastructure. This will further aid us in debugging

Below is a kernel dump that I just got. This is a fresh new install of centos 5.1 on NVIDIA gigabyte MB-GA-M61P-S3. nothing extra has been added. I have not tried the irqpoll but I am surprised to get this. Also the machine keeps running just hod this show on the console... Any ideas???

hi, is this rpms differ from redhat's rawhide 2.4.5 kernel which seems to contain ext3. so my question that your rpm contain different ext3 than rh's rpm? or I can simple use rh's rawhide rpms? thanks. yours. ps. please reply to my private address to since I'm not on the list. thanks. > Hi, > > Mostly for my own use, I prepared two kernel RPM's with Ext3 in them.

This patch finally gives us full proper -ENOSPC handling for btrfs. Now whenever you do a btrfs_start_transaction, you must specify the number of items you are planning to add/delete/modify. The worst case number of blocks that could be modified by changing that number of items will be calculated and checked against the amount of free space in the space_info where the root you are modifying

Hello, I've been looking at ocfs2_rename() and I think there are two possible deadlocks: 1) ocfs2_double_lock() locks directories in the inode number order. But for a directory structure like: d1 / \ f1 d2 / f2 if you do 'mv f1 f2' and in parallel do something like 'rmdir d2' then ocfs2_double_lock() can try locking directories in order

Hi, I have a detailed question about ordered data writes. Suppose we (i.e. intermezzo) does a transaction, which is closed and then followed by an ordered write. Let's assume the ordered write doesn't require new allocation metadata. Is the write still postponed until the first transaction has committed? As far as I can see, prepare_write always starts a transaction, but I'm

Hi, I noticed that using a sparse file as a loop device leads to non journaled block allocation in Ext3. Is this something that should be fixed? - Peter -

Hi Stephen, We had some starvation/locks happening to us under very heavy load in two cases: - InterMezzo asked ext3 to do a journaled file write (for 1 block) essentially using ext3_write - similarly for truncate. These lockups went away when we started the transaction in InterMezzo and reserved somewhat more space than ext3 does. Any clues as to what this might be? Are the ext3

Hi, I'm running 0.03b and it appears that after a clean unmount the needs_recovery flag is still set. [This makes is quite cumbersome to switch between ext2 and ext3.] How can this be fixed? Oh, and I'm very happy. - Peter -

I had the following spat out by syslog on my (2.4.18-pre7-ac3) mailer / web server: Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:611: "!(((jh2bh(jh))->b_state & (1UL << BH_Lock)) != 0)" One of its partitions froze hard--I've rebooted it, and I have an oops which the BUG() triggered which won't decode at the moment, but I'll sort that one out
