rebuild-tree fails on large volume

rebuild-tree fails on large volume

[Carsten Ralle]

Hi,

on our 64bit RAID system reiserfsck segfaults (3.6.19) or stops (3.6.21)
reliably on Pass2 on a 12 TB volume.

On January 11th Jeff Mahoney posted a patch on this list fixing a couple
of type overflow errors on reiserfsck on large volumes which pretty much
sound like mine here.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/reiserfs-devel/msg02679.html

I looked all over the place but couldn't find any infos about the
version to patch.

Does anyone have the source code with these patches included or is there
an unknown test or release version having those patches included or does
anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Sincerely,

Carsten

The patch applies cleanly to reiserfsprogs-3.6.21[0].

@Jeff: will the patch be applied to the next (?) reiserfsprogs release?

Thanks,
Christian.

I don't actually maintain reiserfsprogs unless the openSUSE version has 
now become the official one. I've been meaning to get back to you about 
this but it's been a rough week.

Hehe, nope. Not yet. I'm working on adding sane error handling to it.
BUG_ON doesn't work so well. :)

Great.
It seems we'll release 3.6.22 near Christmas.
I also have something to push to reiser4progs...

Thanks,
Edward.

many thanks to all of you: the rebuild-tree (3.6.21-0 + your patch)
finished this morning and everything looks OK so far, but it'll take a
while to check all of the data.

Imho the patch should be included as soon as possible to the official
OpenSuSE reiserfsprogs tree as there still are a lot of people running
large volumes on ReiserFS v3.6.

Thanks again,

Carsten

We can't follow this argumentation unless it is a special patch for a 
special Linux distribution. But as far as we have followed the 
communication it is a patch that applies in general, and if this is the 
case, then other persons are also interested in this patch. So, we do 
think that it should go to the place where it belongs which is actually [0].

You are pretty aware of its status.
I'll report as soon as I have any updates on reiser4.

Thanks,

Dear Christian,

Most of your comments are totally worthless and do not help the 
community, and that's quite annoying. I'll add your email address to the 
Junk filter.
I wish you a good life, preferably in a remote area.

Why is Mr. Freije so offending?
We don't know what he wants to say us and perhaps others.
All what we do or ask is community related and doubtlessly helps the 
community:
We informed how we use the R4 fs.
We made suggestions how to bring the project further.
We offered our help and support.
We busted persons, who in fact have tried to damage the project and the 
community massively.
We informed about infringements of copyrights.
We informed about persons who tried to damage the project by playing foul.
We asked about how we could buy Namesys to bring the project back on track.
We asked for stopping advertisement.
AND IN THIS CASE WE HAVE SIMPLY REPEATED THE SENTENCE THAT THE 
MAINTAINER SAID YESTERDAY BY ADDING THE WORD suspiciously, BECAUSE WE 
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE GOALS BY ONE OF THE LAST ACTIVE 
MAILING-LIST SUBSCRIBERS.

We don't know who Mr. Freije is.
Maybe he mailed four years ago a message.
But we are sure that so far he posted no concepts, descriptions, help, 
code, patch or something that is community related at all.

Furthermore, we thank Mr.Freije for his kind wish of having a good life, 
while assuring everybody else that it won't be in a remote area.

Last but not least:
Thank you very much for showing the community you real nature, because 
this is exactly what we want to find out as part of the community work. 
Said this, from our point of view Mr. Freije is definitely not able to 
work in a team.
Please Mr. Freije, stop messing up with community members.


Thanks
C. Stroetmann

Good idea. I have done so 4 years ago.

Thanks,

Sorry, we have to correct our statement. In fact, we found 5 messages:

12th December 2008:
One was about a compiled kernel.
The next one was something that he now calls annoying himself.

4th April 2009:
This was again a comment on the same level as our message.

25th of April 2009:
Ask in a offending way where our fork is.

1st of July 2009:
He gave informations how to use R4 with Grub, which from our point of 
view could be easily found in the web by searching.
