It was created as stable ext4 in the first place. So only if there was a stable ext4 release which didn't

It also gets updated if the file system syncfs(2) or sync(2) system call. But if you crash, any writes since

Is is more like a completely bogus value at best: # LANG=C df -h / | grep root /dev/root 3.7T 3.6T 73G 99% / # grep [0-9]

Something else that you might want to do is count the number of journal commits that are taking place, via a command like this: perf stat -e jbd2:jbd2_start_commit -a sleep 3600 This will count the number of jbd2 commits are executed in 3600 seconds --- i.e., an hour. If you are running some workload which is constantly calling fsync(2), that will be forcing journal commits, and those turn into

Hello everybody, I am new to this list, so welcome everybody. Last 2 week I had two harddisk crashes with my ext2 file system. This is what sort of happed with both of the disk: I pluged in my USB to SATA converter in my harddisk that has an ext2 filesystem. I mounted the partition, went to a directory that had a DVD image. I mounted the dvd image in the same directory and started watching the

With kernel 2.6.30-rc2-git6 and prior I am having problems mounting ext4 partitions after reboot. A successful mount looks like this: /dev/cciss/c0d0p8 on /squid-cache0 type ext4 (rw,noexec,nodev,noatime,data=writeback,errors=panic) /dev/cciss/c0d0p9 on /squid-cache1 type ext4 (rw,noexec,nodev,noatime,data=writeback,errors=panic) /dev/cciss/c0d0p10 on /squid-data type ext4

Hello list, I have troubles with the daily backup of a modest filesystem which tends to take more that 10 hours. I have ext4 all over the place on ~200 servers and never ran into such a problem. The filesystem capacity is 300 GB (19,6M inodes) with 196 GB (9,3M inodes) used. It's mounted 'defaults,noatime'. It sits on a hardware RAID array thru plain LVM slices. The RAID array is

Hi, I zero-filled first 10MiB of my SSD(dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=10M count=1). As expected, this wiped my primary GPD header and first partition. Before the wipe, GPT was following: Disk /dev/sda: 250069680 sectors, 119.2 GiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): 2EFD285D-F8E6-4262-B380-232E866AF15C Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last

Hi, i try to create a openWRT Samba 4.3 package and stumbled across the fact that samba 4.3 will create those message socks inside the private-dir. That results in creating entries inside /etc/samba/msg.sock. On openWRT /var is a tempFS in ram, so anything there is not a problem regarding nvram and wear leveling. Yet the root uses a jffs2 overlay. So while those message socks have no size, jffs2

Hi All: Is there a utility available that will allow for the dump/display of the bad track table of a SCSI drive. We had this capability on SCO OSR5 but I have not been able to locate anything similar for Linux. The closest I have found is the badblocks utility that is part of the e2fsprogs package but this appears to only test for bad blocks not display the current bad block table contents. I

I''ve got two recent examples of SSDs.

OK. Thanks for the journal information. I thought tune2fs -l and dumpe2fs were the same. In reality it's almost the same but not entirely ^^ I hear you about all the internal mecanisms that make the FS working or give it some features, and I do understand that it takes some place on the disk. However what I don't understand is why the number given in the "available column" is

Hello, Hope you will forgive me for asking some very simple question about e2fsprogs. I am very new to the kernel as well as file system programming. My task is to collect superblock, inode, bitmap ( or free list) information from ext2/ext3 filesysteam. After searching the google, I came to know about e2fsprogs, which I was able to install and use at least "dumpe2fs" utility. This

I got the following error, but there''s no "cycle" I commented out File["/dev/sdb3"] and it works, but of course would choke if I ran it and the requirement were not met err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found cycles in the following relationships: File[/dev/sdb1] => Exec[echo -e "0,290\n,290\n," | sfdisk /dev/sdb] Here''s the node: node

Hello-- We have a system where a central server formats removable hard disks, which are then booted in an embedded system running a highly modified RH9. The removable disks themselves contain boot, root, and data filesystems. The problem we've encountered after upgrading to FC3 / kernel 2.6 on the central server is that the 2.4 kernel in the embedded system cannot read the root filesystem,

Hi all, Somehow I managed to mess with a RAID array containing an ext3 partition. Parenthesis, if it matters: I disconnected physically a drive while the array was online. Next thing, I lost the right order of the drives in the array. While trying to re-create it, I overwrote the raid superblocks. Luckily, the array was RAID5 degraded, so whenever I re-created it, it didn't go into sync;
