Reiserfs (reiser file system) vs. ext3
Hi all,
I have 11.5.10.2 running with 10.2.0.4 on Suse Linux Enterrprise Server (SLES) 10. I am getting different message from the Linux Sysadmins about different filesystems - currently they have me set up for Reiserfs. I think they decided on the default filesystem for SLES.
Question for the experts are there any pros and cons of reiser vs ext3 - please share what good/bad experiences you have had.
Thanks,

post SQL & results that shows Oracle knows or cares about underlying filesystem type. @Sb92075 - Please see Supported and Recommended File Systems on Linux [ID 236826.1] - there is not a sql that supports what I am saying but since we have reiserFS installed by our Linux Sysadmins ( it is the default install for SLES), wanted to find out if that is a good idea or not. From what I have read, we should have ext3.
@Karluk - Thanks. That is kind of where I am at as well. Do you have any links for Oracle whitepapers? All I have so far is MOS notes:
1. Supported and Recommended File Systems on Linux [ID 236826.1]
2. SuSE/Novell: Linux, Filesystem & I/O Type Supportability [ID 414673.1]
Thanks both sb and karluk

New Macbook and Linux(ferdora) file system ext3
Hello all.
I am getting a new Macbook.
My home file server runs Fedora Core5 with a file system of ext3.
Will the Mac be able to have read/write access?
I did not know if anyone has any experience with this?
I want to use the mac as my day to day computer but keep much of my files on my home linux box. That way I can keep adding drives.
Also.. under linux I can map a drive or folder to any folder
I want .... so that the network drive appears to be a folder in the file system and not new drive.
Is this possible in the apple world?
Thanks for the insight.
TI am in the LINUX world.
I am moving to a Apple world just for my "interface" and form factor.
I use notebooks as my primary computer. You cannot beat the form factor and the "cool" factor of the macbook.
Getting linux to work on a laptop with all of different configs is difficult. I have 2 that work but they are not as "slick" as the macbook.
therefore I am planning to use a macbook as my primary computer and have linux (fedora) running on my home based computers, File server, guest computer etc.
Thanks for your help. Samba would work. But I was hoping for a more direct connection and the ability to mount a drive/folder in my mac filesystem. - which I do not know the mac file system at all.
Thanks again. I am off to google somemore... and see what I turn up.

Crashes and read-only file systems
Notice: I apolgize for the long post, I've tried to be as thorough as possible. I have searched everywhere for possible solutions, but things I've found end up being temporary workarounds or don't apply to my situation. Any help, even as simple as, "have you checked out XYZ log, it's hidden here", would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I'm not sure what exactly caused the issues below, but they did start to happen within a day of running pacman -Syu. I hadn't run that since I first installed Arch on December 2nd of this year.
Setup:
Thinkpad 2436CTO
UEFI/GPT
SSD drive
Partitions: UEFISYS, Boot, LVM
The LVM is encrypted and is broken up as: /root, /var, /usr, /tmp, /home
All LVM file systems are EXT4 (used to have /var and /tmp as ReiserFS)
The first sign that something was wrong was gnome freezing. Gnome would then crash and I'd get booted back to the shell with all filesystems mounted as read-only. I started having the same issues as this OP:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704
At the time, I had /var and /tmp as ReiserFS, and would also get reiserfs_read_locked_inode errors.
When shutting down (even during non-crashed sessions) I would notice this during shutdown:
Failed unmounting /var
Failed unmounting /usr
Followed by a ton of these:
device-mapper: remove ioctl on <my LVM group> failed: Device or resource busy
Nother of these errors had ever appeared before.
After hours of looking for solutions (and not finding any that worked) I was convinced (without any proof) that my Reiser file systems were corrupt and so I reformatted my entire SSD and started anew - not the Arch way, I know I set all logical volumes as EXT4.
After started anew, I noticed
device-mapper: remove ioctl on LVM_SysGroup failed: Device or resource busy
was still showing up, even with just a stock Arch setup (maybe even when powering off via Arch install ISO, don't remember). After a lot of searching, I found that most people judged it a harmless error, so I ignored it and continued setting up Arch.
I set up Gnome and a basic LAMP server, and everything seemed to work for a couple of hours. Soon after, I got the same old issues back. The System-journald issue came back and per the workaround on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704 and a couple other places, I rotated the journals and stopped journald from saving to storage. That seemed to stop THOSE errors from at least overwhelming the shell, but I would still get screen freezes, crashes, and read-only file systems.
I had to force the laptop to power off, since poweroff/reboot/halt commands weren't working (would get errors regarding the filesystems mounted as read-only).
I utilized all disk checking functions possible. From running the tests (SMART test included) that came as part of my laptop's BIOS to full blown fsck. All tests showed the drive was working fine, and Fsck would show everything was either clean, or
Clearing orphaned inode ## (uid=89, gid=89, mode=0100600, size=###
Free blocks count wrong (###, counted=###)
Which I would opt to fix. Nothing serious, though.
I could safely boot back into Arch and use the system fine until the system decides to freeze/crash and do the above all over again.
The sure way of recreating this for me is to run a cron job on a local site I'm developing. After a brief screen freeze (mouse still moveable but everything is otherwise unreponsive) I'll systemctl status mysqld.service and notice that mysqld went down.
It seems that it's at this point my file systems are mounted as read only, as trying to do virtually anything results in:
unable to open /var/db/sudo/...: Read-only file system
After some time, X/Gnome crashes and I get sent back to shell with
ERROR: file_stream_metrics.cc(37)
RecordFileError() err = 30 source = 1 record = 0
Server terminated successfully (0)
Closing log file.or_delegate.h(30)] sqlite erro1, errno 0: SQL logic error or missing database[1157:1179
rm: cannot remove '/tmp/serverauth.teuroEBhtl': Read-only file system
Before all this happened, I was using Arch just fine for a few weeks. I wiped the drives and started anew, and this still happens with just the minimal number of packages installed.
I've searched for solutions to each individual problem, but come across a hack that doesn't solve anything (like turning off storing logs for journal), or the solution doesn't apply to my case.
At this point, I'm so overwhelmed I'm not even sure where exactly to pick up figuring this issue out.
Thanks in advance for any helpDid this occur when you booted from the live/install media?
What is your current set up? That is, partitions, filesystems etc. I take it you have not yet reinstalled X but are in the default CLI following installation?
If turning off log storage didn't help, reenable it so that you may at least stand a chance of finding something useful.
What services, if any, are you running? What non-default daemons etc.?
Does it happen if you keep the machine off line?
Have you done pacman -Syu since installation and dealt with any *.pacnew files?

What about these file systems: ext4, reiserfs, and jfs?
I use ext3 as my file system now.
It said that these three file systems are better than ext3.
Ext4 is a successor to ext3. I think it must be better.
Reiserfs is very fast.
And jfs is effective(low usage of CPU).
Could anyone talk about the experiences of using these FSs?EXT4: should mature into an awesome FS: faster than JFS, and more fault-tolerant. I'll try it one of these months.
XFS: nice. By design, it throws away files on an unclean mount, though. I never had FS corruption, but it would just up and get rid of critical files, like fstab, if I had just edited them and then had a nasty shutdown. Maybe it's a good /tmp FS?
RFS3: it used to be fast with all but large (hundreds of MB) files. IME, the maturing of the 2.6 CFQ and deadline schedulers took care of that. Fsck was never a strong point.
RFS4: what happens to a jet airplane if a bird gets sucked in an engine? It was kind of like that.
EXT3 (as a preface to JFS): from early 1998 up to late 2007, moving from 6.4 to 8.4 to 2x6.4+8.4 to 10 to 20 to 120GB, and well over 100 2000 and XP boxes serviced...I had significant corruption of NTFS FS or files all of three times, and none rendered the system unusable (it took a Win98 low-level FAT32 working trojan to do that...friggin' thing had a low threat level according to Semantic, but ate almost all my C: drive). Since moving to Linux in late '07, I've now had at least six partitions made FUBAR, and a handful that went to read-only at the slightest provocation (to give credit where it's due: I could get data off of those before wiping the partition). I've been working with itty computers lately, and EXT3 has been nothing but trouble (many hard-locks, kernel panics, app crashes while writing, etc.--a little hard on the FS). It seems to be fine on machines running all the time, that do their writing sparsely.
JFS: fast as EXT3, and seems to always recover on an unclean mount. On very slow hardware, it is definitely faster than EXT3...but I mean hardware competitive with Pentium MMXs, where EXT3 regularly maxes out the CPU. Cons? You'd best have your data backed up (but, if you trust any single copy of your data, you're asking for trouble, regardless of FS). It generally can bring your FS back to an old good state. But if not, it will happily throw files away, to make the FS itself clean quicker. So far the worst I've lost were Firefox cookies and other such goodies (never my session, luckily), but it's enough to show the possibilities.

Using an External Drive with a ReiserFS File System
I hope this is the most appropriate place to ask this question.
I am looking at adding a SimpleShare NAS device (Made by SimpleTech) to my home network. I am told that the hard drive uses the ReiserFS file system (which is a Linux file system). Two questions?
Does anyone have any experience with the ReiserFS file system? Does it play well with OS X?
Anyone familiar with the SimpleShare units? Any feedback good or bad?
Thanks for any suggestions.
DavidAfter doing some research I determined that ReiserFS is a journaled Linux file system and having started to use it, it is working well on the network.

Thanks Manish .
I found many articles in cisco which says that this error is related to the bug which need firmware upgrade , but I don't have support from cisco because EOS.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/49511/updated-16-february-2011-ibm-7816-i4-782x-i4-filesystem-errors
Solution
The file-system going read-only issue which has recently been affecting server models MCS-7816-I4, MCS-7825-I4, and MCS-7828-I4 (or their IBM equivilants) in the field is addressed by CSCti52867 - "IBM 7816-I4 and 782x-I4 READONLY file system".
The fix for CSCti52867 is now available and requires the application of two patch files. Install both of these patch files in the order listed below.
1. First install ciscocm.ibm-diskex-1.0.cop.sgn
The Readme file ciscocm.ibm-diskex-1.0.cop.sgn includes installation instructions for this .cop.sgn.
Make sure to only install this utility when show hardware CLI output indicates the array is in a healthy state.
If your server has never had the filesystem go readonly then this step is optional.
2. Next install Cisco-HDD-FWUpdate-3.0.1-I.ISO .
The Readme file Cisco-HDD-FWUpdate-3.0.1-I.Readme.pdf includes installation instructions for this ISO.
This installer is completely independant of the OS installed on the server.
Note: Installing the FWUpdate v3.0(1) or later will get you firmware with the fix for this defect. It is always recommended that you apply the latest FWUCD available for your server.
Refer to the Release Note of CSCti52867 and the Readme file for each of the above mentioned patch files for more details.
Symptoms
The file system goes READONLY, then CUCM services may go down, the server may become "unresponsive" meaning that it is not possible to ssh into the server, login to the console, or web into the server although it may still respond to pings.
Traces from all services stop writing (including syslog)
You see the following error on the server console

hi all,
i have RHEL as 4 and i have 3 partitions on 200gb hard disk d01 d02 d03 with ext3 file system now i want to change the d01 ext3 file system to raw partition for implementing ASM can some one help me out that would be great help thanks very much in advance.1. make a backup of your database
2. decide if you want to use ASMlib or raw devices
the following is the text in an article on installing oracle 10g (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/chan-ubl-vmware.html#5)
A raw device mapping is required only if you are planning on creating ASM disks using standard Linux I/O. An alternative to creating ASM disks is to use the ASM library driver provided by Oracle. You will configure ASM disks using ASM library driver later.
Perform the following tasks to map the raw devices to the shared partitions created earlier. The raw devices have to bind with the block devices each time a cluster node boots.
Add the following lines in /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices.
/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdc1
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdd1
/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sde1
To make the mapping effective immediately, execute the following commands as the root user:
# /sbin/service rawdevices restart
Assigning devices:
/dev/raw/raw1 --> /dev/sdc1
/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 8, minor 33
/dev/raw/raw2 --> /dev/sdd1
/dev/raw/raw2: bound to major 8, minor 49
/dev/raw/raw3 --> /dev/sde1
/dev/raw/raw3: bound to major 8, minor 65
done
# chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw[1-3]
# chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw[1-3]
# ls -lat /dev/raw/raw*
crw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 162, 3 Nov 4 07:04 /dev/raw/raw3

crw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 162, 1 Nov 4 07:04 /dev/raw/raw1
As the oracle user, execute
rac1-> ln -sf /dev/raw/raw1 /u01/oradata/devdb/asmdisk1
rac1-> ln -sf /dev/raw/raw2 /u01/oradata/devdb/asmdisk2
rac1-> ln -sf /dev/raw/raw3 /u01/oradata/devdb/asmdisk3
Modify /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions. Raw devices are remapped on boot. The ownership of the raw devices will change to the root user by default upon boot. ASM will have problem accessing the shared partitions if the ownership is not the oracle user. Comment the original line, “raw/*:root:disk:0660” in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions and add a new line, “raw/*:oracle:dba:0660.”
/etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions

Write access other file systems - NTFS, extX, reiser?
Hi,
I've purchaseda Media NMH410 to connect to my WRT160N router and am having difficulty gaining write access to my connected USB drives. I've tried NTFS, extX and reisfer file systems, and none of them will allow me write access when connected to the hub. I can't go with fat32 because of the 4GB file size limitation. The Mediahub really should also be able to write to NTFS considering most every other linux disitribution these days can.
I expected that since the box is a linux system it would be able to access read/write other linux file systems so thought I could move my data to a linux file system. I've learned to expect encountering access problems with NTFS but am very disappointed the MediaHub is presenting these access problems with other linux file systems.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to gain write access to my other drives. Is there a setting somewhere, or do I need to format in a particular fashion w/switches or something to that affect. And why isn't the hub able to write access another drives formatted even in the same file system (reiser, right)?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
JacquiHi,
It might just be a system limitation on the device.
JacquelineGoguen wrote:
Thanks.
I had followed that thread. The problem is I can't go fat32 b/c of file size limitations and I have to be able to write to these drives across the network.
It appears the Mediahub can ONLY write to external USB devices if they are FAT32? That just seems so odd to me - it's a linux Oistro (albeit slimmed down), I would expect it to have the ability to write to other linux filesystems. or at a minimum, the same filesystem (reiser).

ASM vs ext3 File system(mount point)
Please suggest which one is better for small databases.
ASM or ext3 File system(mount point)?
Any metalink note.ASM better if you do not want to play with I/O tiuning, (if you tune ext3 file system it woud be the same from performace view),
but it more compilcated for admininstering database files in ASM then in ordinary file system.
Oracle is recomending to use ASM for database file system.
I woud think if you have some development database and nead a lot of cloning, moving of datafiles its better to use ordinary file system,
so you can use copy OS comands, not so complicated.
If you nead some striping, miroring, snapshoting from ext3 you can use LVM on unix/linux.
I am not sure but I think what striping or miroring is better on ASM then on LVM, becouse ASM is doing it better for databse I/O. -
File system not clean after hibernate or suspend

8.1.7EE certified for which file systems on RedHat 7.1 ?
Hi,
Does anybody know if Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition is certified for
any other file systems than ext2 (and raw) on RedHat 7.1.
Specifically journaling file systems, e.g., ReiserFS, XFS, ext3.
Thanks in advance,

Wich file system is recomended for an usb key? [SOLVED]
Hi. I have an 8Gb USB Stick (USB key or pendrive).
I will use it to store my backups and ocassionaly to move some files between PCs. I don't use windows so i don't need niether want compatibility, so i don't want to use FAT32.
So, wich file system is recomended to use on an usb key??
Should i use ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs??? or maybe ext4???
Has any of them any implication with the lifetime of the usb?
Thanks

I have /home on a separate partition with jfs as it's file system. It is driving me bonkers by freezing and having to be restarted and checked every hour or so. It just started doing it this much just over the last week since my gal got a new Dell XPS with Vista. It seems to happen much more frequently when I have had the computer on for long periods when she is also on the wireless network. It's a Linksys Wireless N WRT300N, she has an Intel Wireless N card that I believe is the latest model, the 5100, and I have the 4965.
All of my temps are reading normal, including the hard drive. I have never had a fail from the reiserfs / partition, or any ext3's that I had had in the past. I just want to swap it back to the ext3, because I have not seen any performance gains, and it has this lovely freezing issue.
I have it mounted noatime and nodiratime (I think thats the spellings for those two) and I have made sure to keep the commit times fairly low so it doesn't use up the hard drive's Load Cycle Count, because mine is one that has that issue in Linux. (Has it in Win Serv 2k8 as well, but that is another story.)
I know that I can simply reformat the partition my home partition is on, but I am not sure how to go about re-establishing the /home and the users that are stored on the partition. I've taken out the / partition and re-installed leaving the /home, but I have never just done the /home.
Is there an easier way to alter the file system? or am I just going to have to deal with a reformat?This guide describes the procedure I use when I want to switch a partition to a different filesystem: http://inferno.slug.org/cgi-bin/wiki?Dr … nd_Cloning
It needs to be adjusted intelligently for Arch (i.e. sda rather than hda and so on) but the general principle remains the same. -
New Kernel - stuck after unmounting file system
Hello,
I upgraded my kernel and I think that since then I'm having problems shuting down and rebooting. I get the screen where all the processes are being closed and when it comes to the "unmounting file system" it stucks.
I have a fairly strightforward system - ext3 for my linux partition and NTFS for my windows, both automaticly mounted, NTFS read only.
After I waited a few times I just have to manually shut down the computer. Not very healthy I believe.
If anyone encountered the problem or has any advice I'd welcome it.
Thank you,
Greyi have the exact same problem, and it has been like this for a week i tought it was only me but surprises me that its not just me.
the thing is like this when u mount the ntfs filesystem if u dont read from the discs u can umount them but ir u read from them my machine freezes when it comes to the umount command !!
Im just a newbie in linux so i have no idea why this is but i have no problems at all with the reiserfs , ext3 mounts , only the ntfs is screwed up
kernel 2.6.12 , udev 062-1
when i installed from the cd i had no problems at all but , a week ago i formated all and did a ftp install , and i start having this problem.
