similar to: [PATCH] ocfs2: Adjust rightmost path in ocfs2_add_branch.

Hi Mark/Joel, This is the v2 of bug fix for ocfs2_add_branch. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Create a patch which return EROFS instead of BUG in ocfs2_insert_at_leaf. 2. Use ocfs2_adjust_rightmost_records to change the root and extent blocks in the rightmost path. Regards, Tao

The following series of patches attempts to detach metadata I/O from struct inode. They are currently tied together pretty tightly. Metadata reads happen via the ocfs2_read_blocks() functions, writes via both jbd2 and ocfs2_write_blocks(). - Each inode has a cache of associated metadata blocks stored on its ip_metadata_cache member. The ocfs2_read/write_blocks() functions take a struct

Hi Mark/Joel, I meet with some meta allocation bugs when I implement reflink these days. And after some investigation, I think we should have the same problem when we have PAGE_SIZE > CLUSTER_SIZE. So I create a scenario today in one ppc box and try. the box panic as I expected. ;) The scenario is that: Create a file with the disk layout like this(with bs=512, and cs=4K). debugfs: stat

The old extent merging code down underneath "ocfs2_mark_extent_written()" can't merge extents between leaf blocks. This patch resolve this. So that a large unwritten extent which has been split up with a bunch of writes can be merged together once all unwritten regions have been written to. Modification from V1 to V2: 1. Add more comments for some functions which is more complicated

Hi Mark/Joel, These are 2 bug fix for b-tree. Please review. I have sent out the first one last week, but it was based on cacheme. So resend it. Now it bases on joel's fixes branch. The second one is another b-tree rotation bug. I guess the reason why we never meet with it is that no one has ever used b-tree like reflink before. ;) Regards, Tao

Hello, We have a 3-node cluster setup with ocfs2. Since friday one of the nodes went down and would not become clustermember after a reboot because it was unable to write to the ocfs2 filesystem. Message: no space left on device. There is plenty of diskspace though. No problem whatsoever to create a file / directory on the filesystem using one of the other nodes. Today one of the remaining

This is related to the "No space on OCFS2 volume" error discussed here this past Sep/Oct. Our Oracle support rep pointed us to Metalink note #1232702.1 and suggested we should script something up to periodically check the free contiguous blocks in the group chains for the volume in question. Reading the note, I get how to get Clusters per Group X Bits per Cluster from the "stat

In normal tree rotation left process, we will never touch the tree branch above subtree_index and ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction doesn't reserve the credits for them either. But when we want to delete the rightmost extent block, we have to update the rightmost records for all the rightmost branch(See ocfs2_update_edge_lengths), so we have to allocate extra credits for them. What's more,

Hello, I have found, that ocfs2 is very slow when doing I/O operation without cache.

Hi all, So I have finally finished the v1 of reflink for ocfs2. It has some bugs that I am still investigating, but the schema is almost there. So I'd like to send it out first for review. And Tristan and I will continue to work on the stability of the code. The general information for reflink, please see http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/DesignDocs/Reflink.

Hi all, So I have finally finished the v3 of reflink for ocfs2. The biggest change is that we support 64bit cluster offset now(Thank Mark and Joel for it).

Hi everyone Firstly, apologies for the cross post, I am not sure which list is most appropriate for this question. I should also point out, that I did not install OCFS2 and I am not the person that normally looks after these kind of things, so please can you bear that in mind when you make any suggestions (I will need a lot of detail!)

Hi, We are trying to use OCFS2 as VM storage. After running into problems with qemu's disk_mirror feature we now think there could be a problem with the FIEMAP ioctl in OCFS2. As far as I understand the situation looks like this: Qemu inquiries the FS if the given section of the image is already allocated via the FIEMAP ioctl [1] It especially checks if fm_mapped_extents is greater 0.

Short question: I''m curious as to how ZFS manages space (free and used) and how its usage interacts with thin provisioning provided by HDS arrays. Is there any effort to minimize the number of provisioned disk blocks that get writes so as to not negate any space benefits that thin provisioning may give? Background & more detailed questions: In Jeff Bonwick''s blog[1], he
