Re: ext3 - filesystem is not clean after recovery
Hi, Sorry, I forgot to say, that it was with 0.0.2b. Also I reproduced this twice, so the second time, it _was_ a clean fs before converting to ext3. Miklos 5) boot, then mount ext3 filesystem - it says: JFS DEBUG: (recovery.c, 411): journal_recover: JFS: recovery, exit status 0, recovered transactions 130 to 133 6) unmount the fs, and with debugfs turn off journalling 7) "e2fsck -f" the filesystem And fsck returned some errors. Is this normal? Which version of ext3? If you haven't applied the 0.0.2a and 0.0.2b patches, then yes, there have been bugs fixed which might have caused this. Another possible danger is applying a journal to a filesystem which is not completely clean and which has undetected errors --- eventually the user mode tools for journal creation will be advanced enough not to allow creation of a journal on an unclean filesystem.

This sounds exactly like a problem in truncate on 0.0.2a. I absolutely cannot reproduce any recovery failures with both applied. Alternatively, are you running on software raid? There's a possible raid problem which affects ext3 which I'm chasing right now. --Stephen

Hi! Are you sure you applied _both_ 0.0.2a and 0.0.2b, not just 0.0.2b? I did apply both patches. This sounds exactly like a problem in truncate on 0.0.2a. I absolutely cannot reproduce any recovery failures with both applied. Alternatively, are you running on software raid? There's a possible raid problem which affects ext3 which I'm chasing right now. Nope, no raid. I will try to make more tests with a cleaner configuration... Miklos
