I've recently completed some crude tests on 7.3en final and have run into some problems with JFS and ext3. After installing and rebooting a couple of times I decided to test the recovery time of each filesystem by powering off the system. The problem is that when the system came back up I had extensive errors. I did the same simple test with reiser without any problems. I suppose this isn't too surprising given the long time support of reiser from SuSE. However, when testing the 7.3 Beta5 I ran the same tests on all the journaled filesystems without errors from either ext3 or jfs. Has anyone else run into any problems with jfs or ext3 on 7.3? Note that the beta5 Iwas using was the de version and the final I'm using is en. I can't see how this should make a difference but if there is anyone out there running the de version without problems I could try and run the final de version and see if I run into any problems. After all mistakes do happen from time to time. wk "If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done." -- Scott Adams ***************************************************************************************************** (o)_ Wes Kinard kinard@us.ibm.com / /\ IBM Advanced Technical Support 817.962.5444 V_/_ pSeries / AIX / Linux T/L 522.5444

Forwarded to internal mailinglist. Please note that you have PRIVILEDGED access to those betas (IBM), NO ONE else on this list (unless there happen to be more IBM or e.g. Oracle people, and other SuSE partners) has access to these versions. Michael
Wes, Yes, I found JFS unusable in the final myself. I have seen fixes in the recent Kernel changes. SuSE Kernels that is. IMHO Reiser is still the only FS that Journals to use untill some more testing is done. Regards, Jon On Wed, 17 Oct 2001, Wes Kinard wrote:

Right now, we cannot really recommend to use JFS on the root partition. It works fine if you use for for other partitions, but JFS 1.0.5 does not handle this special case (root being mounted read-only on bootup) very gracefully yet. It throws out a lot of warning messages that slow down the startup quite significantly. This has been fixed in later JFS releases, but has not made it into a kernel update yet.

Hi everyone, We're in the process of using BIND 8.2.3 on SuSE 7.1 (it's the out of the box version in 7.1). We have an odd problem with it. About once every two week it exits, leaving no error messages in the log. We are a bit at a loss as to the reason for this, and I wondered if anyone else had suffered from this and/or found out how to cure it. alan

Yep, even more often, like once every day. In fact, so often that I have writen a script which is run every minute from a crontab to restart named if it is not running. If anybody can give a reason for this, I am most interested.
