new reiser4progs?
Hello all, Are new reiser4progs available? I can only find 1.0.3 as newest, but that version is august 2004. It seems a newer version is provided to Simon, but in a private mail, as I can't find that part of the thread in the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg16804.html I have the same problem described in that thread btw: http://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg16785.html The thread starts here: http://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg16777.html I get segmentation fault with --check of --build-sb, and illegal instruction with --build-fs Kernel is 2.6.11-rc3-mm2. I'll read the archives so please reply to the list. Thanks in advance. With kind regards, Sander

You said you had problem with that too, but that is really weird as X would not want 100% cpu. In an other mail you write that your compiles are very fast. If a new kernel doesn't solve your problem, and compiles are very fast anyway, I would say: don't do that then (the renice to -10), or renice to -5 or some value which does not bother you. I'm quite sure this is not reiserfs related in any way. Just convert your p300 to reiserfs and see what happens.

no reiserfs quota in 2.4 yet? 2.4.21-pre4-ac4 says different
Hi Reiserfs team, Today I put a new kernel on a server which has reiserfs and needs quota. I searched for the quota patches (found them in the mail archive) and saw that they are very old: ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/testing/quota-2.4.20 3 december 2002. They don't apply to a current kernel. I decided to use 2.4.20 with -pre4 and -ac4 patch. 01-quota-v2-2.4.20.diff has this: Quota support CONFIG_QUOTA If you say Y here, you will be able to set per user limits for disk - usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works only for the - ext2 file system. You need additional software in order to use quota - support; for details, read the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from + usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works for the + ext2, ext3, and reiserfs file system. You need additional software + in order to use quota support (you can download sources from + http://www.sf.net/projects/linuxquota/). For further details, read + the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto. Probably the quota support is only useful for multi user systems. If unsure, say N. -ac 4 has this: Quota support CONFIG_QUOTA If you say Y here, you will be able to set per user limits for disk - usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works only for the - ext2 file system. You need additional software in order to use quota - support; for details, read the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from + usage (also called disk quotas). Currently, it works for the + ext2, ext3, and reiserfs file system.

For further details, read + the Quota mini-HOWTO, available from http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto. Probably the quota support is only useful for multi user systems. If unsure, say N. Because none of the outdated patches apply to -pre4-ac4, and because of the above in -ac4, I thought that a 2.4.21-pre4-ac4 kernel would have quota. This, unfortunately, seems not the case. I have this line in fstab: /dev/md1 /reiserfs noatime,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 and get this error message: reiserfs_getopt: unknown option usrquota My quota tools are fresh, 3.08. Did I do something wrong? The setup worked with patched 2.4.19-rc1, but that one became old and we needed a few more modules. So for now I assume I'm bitten by no-quota-in-current-2.4-yet. If I'm right on that; Is there a reason quota is not in 2.4 yet? It has been stable (for me), and it exists for quite some time now. Did only half of the patches make it to Alan? The CONFIG_QUOTA is misleading. Btw, the faq on namesys.com says: Is quota-support built-in in the vanilla 2.4 kernels for ReiserFS? No, quota support for linux kernels from 2.4 branch are bundled separately and can be obtained from this location. The reason these patches are not included into 2.4 kernel branch is because they implement new quota format and need new quota code too, which is too big of a change for 2.4 series of kernels. Various Linux distributions vendors (ie SuSE) do ship reiserfs-quota enabled kernels, though. The from this location link points to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/reiserfs/quota-2.4 which contains patches one year old. May I ask, what is the future of quota in reiserfs for the 2.4 kernel? Should I wait for new patches? Try to apply them by hand, or did too much change? Will quota be integrated in the 2.4 kernel soonish? Thanks for your time!

They should merge against -ac now more easily, but I haven't had time to really test it. Do you want to try the merge on -ac or would you rather try against 2.4.21-preX Thanks a lot for your quick answer! Yes, you are of course right that 2.4.20 is the current kernel. My mistake. I would love to use -ac, so patches against that would be great. But you would make me very happy with patches against -pre too. Is there any chance that you consider your against-ac patches ready for inclusion in Alan's kernel patches?
fsck on boot (was: Re: Corrupted/unreadable journal: reiser vs. ext3)
Andreas Dilger wrote (ao): The other thing to keep in mind is that you can have different levels of automated fsck at boot time, depending on how long they take. You never necessarily have to try and fix anything with fsck -a, just detect errors and leave it up to the user to decide what to do if you find a problem: - always recover journal, validate superblock, error flag ( 1s) Don't know how long it takes these things to run, so it is up to you to trade off checks vs. speed, and you could even round-robin them (storing the last checked item in the superblock or something): - check block allocation bitmaps match superblock counts - walk directory structure from root, checking for directory corruption - check btree validity on inodes for up to 10 seconds (or whatever, storing last checked inode in superblock for restarting this test at next one) By all means, don't do checks for an hour, or allow users to set the maximum boot check duration in the superblock. I'm sure users don't mind waiting 5s at boot time if it means they don't lose data. Yes! Yes! I agree so much on this .. Let fsck always run at boot, and perform checks which take at most a few seconds all together. Then dmesg will tell if something is wrong. Maybe it can also show the error code in /proc/mounts ?

But, it is a hardware problem.
Either way, after I was done upgrading my server, I figured I could run
reiserfsck since it was a new reboot with 'reiserfsck --check /dev/hde1'

It is better if you (always) try the latest reiserfsck version, which is

filesystem on (dev 16:41, block 2, size 4096)
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd1,
or too many mounted file systems
Any (quick) help will be appreciated. If any information is missing,
please ask.
After you dd'ed the disk, you should see a lot of error messages in
dmesg. dd can't make a good copy of the fs due to that, so that's why
you need to use dd_rescue. dd_rescue will most likely not be able to
retreive all your data, but most likely most of it.
Of course you should not use the old disk anymore if you got your data
back.
In summary: try dd_rescue again, and fsck the target disk with the
newest reiserfsprogs.
I hope that works for you.

I have one a few weeks old and it's already making some evil sounding noises... A lot? Sometimes you can hear a disk recalibrate, which is not bad, but that should be only now and then. Do you have disk related errors in your logs? Try to run an ibm drive fitness program and see what it tells you about the disk.
Re: kernel go-slow
Russell Coker wrote (ao): I'm running a number of machines with 2.4.20 and the ReiserFS journal patches. One problem that has started occuring is that periodically some of the machines will go really slow for a while. It's as if the CPU speed has just dropped to 1% of it's regular speed. Then after 10 minutes or so it will continue as normal. Has anyone heard of such things before? It seems there is a 'bug' in 2.4.20 which causes the stall. (don't know the details, but you're not the only one). Maybe a -pre fixes it, though in your case I would wait for .21 I think.
Re: mkreiserfs -s 1024 makes unmountable partitions
Francois-Rene Rideau wrote (ao): Hi! No hard disk crash today (I'm just disabling the DMA )- ) However, I've tried to make small reiserfs partitions, and was annoyed at the journal taking a significant size of the disk: 32MB is 50% of my 64MB /boot partition, and 40% of the whole of my server's 80MB harddisk. I would not make more than one partition on a 80MB harddisk. When I cleaned my room I found an old IBM 386 with a 150MB harddisk and 6MB ram. I think I put ext2 on it as it has less cpu overhead. It will be a terminal anyway so I don't care about filechecks (a pitty I won't be able to use a ramdisk). Yours might be old too. Maybe ext2 is a better option? (Don't worry, I have reiserfs on all my other systems ;-) I saw that mkreiserfs had an option -s to select the size of the journal, and tried to use it to make a 4MB journal: mkreiserfs -s 1024 /dev/hdc1 However, whereas mkreiserfs didn't complain, the resulting partition was unmountable by linux. In the syslogs, the kernel complains: read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on (dev 16:01, block 128, size 512) read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on (dev 16:01, block 16, size 512) I there a way to make a reiserfs partition with a small journal? 32MB is really a waste, on some partitions. Would a small kernel patch do it? In any case, I think that it is a bug that mkreiserfs doesn't check the consistency of its parameters with what the kernel is able to handle. According to the manpage it should work: -s | --journal-size N N is size of journal in blocks. When journal is to be on a separate device - its size defaults to number of blocks that device has. When journal is to be on a host device - its size defaults 8193 and maximal possible value is 32749 (for blocksize 4k). Minimun is 513 for both cases. I've played with it a bit. It seems it never can mount if I did mkreiserfs with the -s option (1024, 2048, 8193 (default), 10240). I can if I mkreiserfs without -s (or others). PS: I'm using debian's reiserfsprogs 1:3.6.4-2 and linux kernel 2.4.20. reiserfsprogs 3.6.5-pre1 and 2.4.18-rc4

Zygo Blaxell wrote (ao): Title: IBM DTLA 307045 Hard disk crash I bought this disk (46 GB) about two years ago. One of the best they claimed. [...] What is the fucking MBTF of these drives?? Is it close to one year like I experienced? That is quite good for those drives :-) My employer used a total of 13 of these drives (various sizes, but all the same family) for RAID arrays. We originally purchased 10, and replaced the first 3 to die under IBM warranty. After the first 3, we started replacing dead disks with some other brand of drive. In the end 9 of the IBM drives died. Some days two or three disks would fail at a time. We didn't bother waiting for the last 4, but presumably they would have died if we hadn't replaced all of them. We took the rest of them apart to use as cubicle wall decorations, shaving mirrors, etc. We had about 25% fail within a few months (30 systems). I must say that the systems ran a bit hot inside though. Ours weren't the infamous deathstar disks btw.

It was named READ.ME.1 due to that, and of course I only noticed this 1ms _after_ I kicked away the message ..

And what is the right way to integrate reiser4 into the kernel? At the moment I pull reiser4 and linux-2.5, patch linux-2.5 with the reiser4.diff out of the snapshots dir, and replace fs/reiser4 with the BK reiser4. This works*, but I think the patch part is not the right way. * I can compile a 2.5 kernel, boot it, and mkfs.reiser4 a partition. Thanks in advance!
