I have observed a issue with ext3 from the beginning. After considerable digging I am still not sure of the origin or reason.
My grsec patched kernel has all ext3 options enabled as built-in, not Modules. All the grsec/PAX options are enabled as well. All my partitions were formatted ext3 with a journal. Now on boot, the partition mounts with this warning... EXT2-fs warning (device hdb1): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 -su-3.2# mount /dev/hdb1 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,gid=4,mode=620) shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) Attempts to mount other ext3 partitions meet this fate: -su-3.2# mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/x mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext3' but I can mount it as ext2 with no problem. Meanwhile I have mounted my root partition on my another system and run e2fsck multiple times but when I reboot the times mount times are way messed up, a check is forced, and I still get this mess: -su-3.2# tune2fs -l /dev/hdb1 tune2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: <not available> Filesystem UUID: 0af56e50-238c-44fd-b9fc-3f4426905d41 Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode filetype sparse_super large_file Default mount options: (none) Filesystem state: not clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 610432 Block count: 1220806 Reserved block count: 61040 Free blocks: 632882 Free inodes: 522306 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 Reserved GDT blocks: 298 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 16064 Inode blocks per group: 502 Filesystem created: Thu Aug 23 15:29:53 2007 Last mount time: Sun Sep 2 09:12:02 2007 Last write time: Sun Sep 2 09:42:38 2007 Mount count: 23 Maximum mount count: 29 Last checked: Wed Aug 29 19:58:58 2007 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) Next check after: Mon Feb 25 18:58:58 2008 Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 128 Journal inode: 8 Default directory hash: tea Directory Hash Seed: c0f90fe1-88c6-43b7-a611-f1151cb56348 Journal backup: inode blocks -su-3.2# Are there some file system compatibility issues? I am missing something obvious but the answer eludes me so far.
