Fwd: probs with large data transfer using Linux 2.4.21-pre3

heya peeps

i have recently started using the pre-release kernels coz the come with the
jfs src included instead of patching manually etc... but i have a serious
problem which needs addressing, i have a dir with 37Gb of data on it, and
every time i try and move the data from one partn on one disc to another
partn on another disc, my machine crashes, with no log output or hint of
cause, i am at a loss, i am using Linux 2.4.21-pre3 at the moment and cannot
move that volume of data, i was wondering is there any way of making a
v2.4.21+ kernel that has a stable implementation of jfs

i used to just patch the stable release Linux kernel with the jfs patches,
which provided me with no problem, is this the best way of using JFS under
linux?

regards

waz

p.s. my dmesg is included with the mail as i hope it will help

Have you tried reproducing this in a virtual terminal, rather than from 
X?  If the crash is fatal, an oops is usually written to the console, 
but doesn't always make it to disk in the log.

Also, you could try forcing fsck to run against the volume with the -f 
flag.  At boot time, jfs_fsck may only be replaying the journal, and if 
there are any errors on disk, they may not be getting fixed.

Well, I had thought 2.4.21-pre3 w/JFS was pretty stable.  But there are 
a few reports of bugs that I haven't gotten to the root of yet.

online resizing ?

Lo,

I would like to know if exist a path to permet a jfs online resizing ?

Yes, you need release 1.0.21 or above for the file system. The FS must be mounted
and you need to use the -o remount option.

example: mount -o remount,resize /mount point

This broke the compilation with gcc 2.95:

Curious as to what gcc 2.95 version you are using.
Seems to compile fine with:
gcc 2.95.4 20011002

I'm using the same gcc. I should have said that I'm compiling with 
CONFIG_JFS_DEBUG. Without CONFIG_JFS_DEBUG it indeed compiles fine.

kernel BUG and filesystem lost !!

Hi all.

I work with kernel 2.4.20 , lvm 1.0 and jfsutils 1.1.1. for 2 weeks and 
I  had  3 or 4 problems with jfs filesystems. The problems basically 
happened
when I worked with office aplications (StarOffice) or copy files between 
jfs filesystems. The last problem was very serious becasuse
I've to push reset button to recuperate the system control and I lost 
one filsystem. In this last case, the root filesystem begins to report 
problems about jfs boundaries and
I press reset button. On reboot, there was one filesystem that jfs can't 
recuperate. This is my fsck.jfs output.

gava:~# fsck.jfs  -v -a /dev/dades_vg/aplicacions
fsck.jfs version 1.1.1, 17-Dec-2002
The current device is:  /dev/dades_vg/aplicacions
(chklog) FSCK  Open(...READ/WRITE EXCLUSIVE...) returned rc = 0

(chklog) FSCK  Primary superblock is valid.

(chklog) FSCK  The type of file system for the device is JFS.

Block size in bytes:  4096
File system size in blocks:  90112
Phase 0 - Replay Journal Log
(chklog) FSCK:LOGREDO:  Log already redone!

(chklog) FSCK  logredo returned rc = 0
