[reiserfs-list] Quota patch for 2.4.10

2001-10-09 Thread Sumit Kalra

Hi,
Where can I find a Quota patch for linux kernel version 2.4.10 ? I couldn't
find it at the NAMESYS site. All I found there was the patch for 2.4.7.
Regards,
Sumit

   I had this problem, almost exactly. The problem ended  up being that I
  had bad ram. Do a google search for
   memtest86 and try it out
  
  I tested my RAM using memtest86 but found it to be OK. The problem seems to
  be somewhere else. Now I'm unable to gunzip tar-balls of size upto 25M -
  this is ridiculous.

Is there something in kernel logs? Can you reproduce this with
CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK on?

  Yeah, I'm now planning to shift over to linux-2.4.10. But I can't find
  suitable quota patches for this kernel version. Do we need to apply quota
  patch for reiserfs in kernel-2.4.10 or is it in-built in this kernel ? If we
  have to apply a patch then where can I find the patch. I tried the
  quota-2.4.7 patch for 2.4.10 kernel but it didn't get patched cleanly and I
  got errors during compilation.

I've just added link to Jan Kara's quota patches to our download
page. You can try them.

  
  Thanks and regards,

 Hi Everyone,
 
 I just set up a box with RH 7.1, updated with Linux Kernel 2.4.10, compiled

 I can define RAID-1 partitions and 'mkreiserfs /dev/md0' and mount/umount
 the partition with no trouble at all.  However, once I reboot the machine,
 the raid partitions are not readable any more!!!
 
 Do you have any idea and any suggestion to this?
  
Did you do raidstart /dev/md0 after reboot?

Thank you very much for you response.  However, when I did that, I get this
error message:

# raidstart /dev/md0
/dev/md0: Invalid argument

FYI, this is the content of /etc/raidmd0

# cat /etc/raidtab
raiddev /dev/md0

nr-raid-disks   2
persistent-superblock   0
chunk-size  8

Further, I found that this problem is not reiseifs related.  It happens no
matter what file system is made.

Any insight?

I had something like this with LVM on IDE disks.. The IDE driver was
loaded as a module and probably didnt init things properly..

I found that trying to use the volume just didnt work however if I
accessed the physical disk first ( eg dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null etc..
) things started working...

What do you mean by not readable?  Is ReiserFS unable to mount or is the 
RAID device not created?  What does cat /proc/mdstat say?

ReiserFS on RAID-1 on 2.4.10 is working perfectly for me (I have raidstart 
run from an initrd).

Well, first thing that to came to my mind is:
Why you are using raid without persistent-superblock?

Second:
You are not mention how many spare-disk yuo have in raidtab?


I have very much this kind raid-1 with my 2.4.10, and it's working like
charm.

Looks like you didn't select RAID partition autodetection when you

  Just a note: Currently I have quota patches only for -ac versions of
kernel due to transaction nesting stuff (latest I have is 2.4.10-ac3) -
you need to apply 'nesting' and 'reiserquota' patch for 2.4.10-ac3.

[reiserfs-list] Cerberus + reiserfs ?

2001-10-09 Thread Dirk Mueller

Hi, 

I'm curious, is there any of the developers doing regular tests of reiserfs 
with recent kernels under Cerberus? 

VA Linux's testsuite is probably good at detected load-dependend 
filesystem-corruption bugs.

  Hello,

 Where can I find a Quota patch for linux kernel version 2.4.10 ? I couldn't
 find it at the NAMESYS site. All I found there was the patch for 2.4.7.
  I have patches for -ac versions of kernel. My lastest patch is for 2.4.10-ac3
at:

You need 'nesting' and 'reiserquota' patch from there.

[reiserfs-list] RedHat 7.1 / ReiserFS

2001-10-09 Thread Vats, Mudit

Folks,
 
The ReiserFS download page states that it's dangerous to use the ReiserFS
with kernel 2.4.3 or older 2.4.x kernel versions. For several reasons we
must use RedHat 7.1 with the included 2.4.2 kernel. It is our desire to use
ReiserFS.
 
Q1: What are the specific issues which are problematic with RedHat's 2.4.2
kernel and ReiserFS?
 
Q2: Are there any kernel or ReiserFS patches for RedHat's 2.4.2 kernel which
address the issues in Q1?
 
If this is already in a FAQ or someplace else, sorry for the post.
 
Thanks for your help.

Eh, there is a 2.4.3 kernel from the RedHat folks. And besides - what is 
the reason, you cannot use newer kernels?

 Q1: What are the specific issues which are problematic with RedHat's 2.4.2
 kernel and ReiserFS?

You can get filesystem corruptions and lose data.

 Q2: Are there any kernel or ReiserFS patches for RedHat's 2.4.2 kernel which

Not AFAIK. But you can upgrade to 2.4.10 or something like; that will 
solve the issues.

Mudit, may you use the updated kernel 2.4.3-12 in the RH 7.1 updates
directory?

The stock 2.4.2 kernel w/ RH 7.1 doesn't even work w/ certain hardware
configurations.  (It's not for lack of a driver, but for a lack of a working
driver!)

If you're doing certification/qualification tests, etc., you probably should
update to the *patched* version.

Just my $0.02 US.
