So I'm looking to migrate to another obscure file system. JFS.
My favourite. Except for test systems with ext4, everything here is JFS. Has been since ... forever. JFS v1.1 maybe.
I have a serious problem and it seems related to JFS I have converted a couple of partitions to JFS, mostly large files, PDF document movies/presentations. They were mounted bt not being accessed. I have firefox running and encounter a site that doesn't want to work with FF, needs chromium. Again, a presentation. What I normally do in these circumstances is copy the URL, start chromium in other window inder KDE (I keep a couple space just for this purpose) and view the rpesentation there. I've done this many times. Today I try it and my machine freezes. The disk light comes on and stays on. Mouse is unresponsive. I hot key ctl-altF1 and log in as root. Machine is unresponsive and I get "login timeout after 60 seconds" before getting in as root. The 'w' command tells me the load factor is in the 30s I reboot the machine and try this all again. Same result. Frustrating. So I reboot and this time I unmount the two JFS partitions. I then start FF, copy the URL, start chromium, paste the URL ... and all works fine! I suppose, ultimately, the question is not simply is it a problem with JSF, but is it a problem with the scheduler? Is it an interaction with the other FS drivers? As advised by a page on JFS setup I have # cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler noop [deadline] cfq Has anyone observed this? I'm not finding illumination with google but perhaps my fu is off today as well.
