similar to: some ext3 benchmarks

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, I have uploaded ext3-0.0.5b.tar.gz to ftp.*.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/fs/ext3/test/ and ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/test/ New in this release is a functionally complete implementation of metadata-only journaling: data writes will no longer have to be written to the journal. Journaling still imposes some extra serialisation points between interacting processes, so

While investigating erratic performance on one our our servers, I'm getting some very odd performance stats coming from vmstat. What initially appeared to be happening is the machine goes into a hard loop in some mod_perl webserver code. Now there still may be an issue with the code, but my code examinations show no possible way this could be happening, but what I'm writing to you

I'm trying to get dovecot-lda working on a FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE box (also had the same problem on 5.4) When I run autogen.sh I get the following output: aclocal:configure.in:13 <http://configure.in:13>: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal. configure.in <http://configure.in>: installing

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 -

There hasn't been any mailing list activity for almost a week. Is it that we are all happy and just waiting for meta-data journaling? -- Keith Barrett Red Hat HA Team

Hi, [Background] I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to get a reliable RH linux distribution installed on my Intel machine with journaling on my large disks (not interested in journaling the root fs). I've tried using ReiserFS and eventually had some success, but it would seem that they are more in bed with Suse. It would appear that RedHat has chose ext3 as it's current journaling
