I've spent half a day googling around to see if someone had the same problem as I have. People reported even worse problems than mine, all reported that it happened only with ext3, but did not happen with reiser. Looks like big caches on hard drives cause some problems so the journal info is not properly written. Since ext3 doesn't have CRC on journal blocks, it can't detect the problem. The issue is supposed to be solved in ext4. Although other file systems didn't report any problem, everyone said it still doesn't mean there is no problem, maybe other FSs didn't detect it yet. Also, many sysadmins that manage large systems write against LVM when not needed (like in our case), according to them its just adds non-needed complexity and cause some problems. I kinda agree with them. So I'm in process now of removing the LVM and stay with RAID1 for boot, RAID5 for system, swap and storage. I'll probably stay with ext3 for now. > > My home server : > * hda1, hdc1 : /boot, selected by the BIOS > * hda2 + hdc2 : RAID1 + LVM, for system FS (/, /var, /usr, etc) > * hda3, hdc3 : bare swap > * hda4 + hdc4 : LVM (/home, /backup) > * hdb1 + hdd1 : LVM in stripped mode (/video) > > My hosting servers have similar setups, with DRBD in the game (network > RAID1). How do you setup this thing?
