ext3fs in Linus' Kernel Tree
peloy writes: "According to Linus' changelog for Linux 2.4.15pre2, the long waited ext3fs, the sucessor of ext2 with jounaling capabilities, has finally made its way into the official kernel tree. I have never tried ext3fs but it looks that now that it is "blessed" by Linus I'll be upgrading my old and trusty ext2fs partitions soon."
Thank you.
--Patrick Bateman, Esq.
Why Linus chose ext3 over the more proven technology, XFS? I have been using XFS in linux on my laptop, and it is rock solid, stable, and fast. It's a proven filesystem.
I expect ext3 to have major bugs once people start using it in production. People will be really pissed when their data becomes corrupted/deleted and could cause even more instability in the kernel.
On another, only slightly related note, I hate the fact that ALSA isn't standard in the kernel - instead they use OSS.. which releases only half-assed free drivers, then expects you to pay for the good drivers.
But I guess when you're the dictator of an operating system you can do with it whatever you like.

I have nothing against the ext3 filesystem or the new virtual memory patch but Linus needs to stop adding these relatively radical changes into the so called stable kernel reserved only for drivers and bug fixes. The issue is not that big for most hackers reading this but alot of us run Linux on mission critical servers that we bet our jobs on. Even before the radical kernel patches, all the newer kernels had big-time showstopper bugs. Many admins even run the old 2.2 kernel to avoid unnecessary problems. I have been running 2.4 and had no problems yet luckily. However I really do not know if I can recommend Linux as a server OS anymore. I want stability and Freebsd and Solaris seems to meet my needs alot more. Hopefully this madness will stop soon. We all love to bash Microsoft for releasing buggy service packs for NT that have not been tested thoroughly but there seems to be no real testing with Linux kernel patches. Freebsd conquered this problem by having 2 development teams. One for the stable branch and one for the development branch. No radical changes are allowed in the stable branch and the stable branch must go under lots of testing to be approved to be released as stable. I now know why BSD hackers love there development model. Cutting edge is great for some users but please do not include it in the kernel where a lot of people count on it for servers and mission critical applications.

TACO had just finished the last summer cheerleading practice.She was the first girl in ten years to make the squad their fresman year. Several of the other cheerleaders were upset. Kelly wasn't concerned about their thoughts. She shyed away from others and had very few friends. She didn't believe in the clicks people got into. Kelly is one of the prettiest girls in school. Shoulder length reddish blonde hair, acute face with a small button nose, and always smiled. Breasts the size of small grapefruits with nipples same size as quarters. Flat slightly sculptured belly, slender waist, narrow hips, small plump butt and perfectly shaped legs. All wrapped into a 5'4" 115pds frame. After showering Kelly dried herself, as she went to her locker. She noticed four girls across from her locker talking and snickering. Kelly ignored them. After slipping her cotton bikini pantys on, she grabbed her bra. Somebody had cut the straps. There was no way she'd be able to wear it now. She turned around to confront the now, laughing girls. They quickly walked out of the lockeroom. Kelly put on her low cut tank top, and shorts. After throwing her stuff into her bag, she headed out. Her breasts stood just as if she had a bra on. Her breasts firmly jiggled as she walked to the bus stop. Kelly was headed downtown to the library first. Then to a movie. Kelly had noticed lately that boys as well as men were looking her over as she walked by. Today more so than ever. After she got off the bus downtown. She went to walking the 4 blocks to the library. When a old black man walked out of a alley. Hey there. Where you headed? (shyly and quietly) Oh, hi. I'm going to have lunch with my dad. Kelly walked a little faster. She didn't notice that the old black man was following her. Kelly went into the library and looked over a couple of books untill it was time to go to the movie. She looked up. Over a few tables was the old black man. Since she had noticed men looking her way. Kelly was starting to become a tease. So, she walked his way to put the books away. She knew he wouldn't do anything in public place. When she was in front of him. She dropped the books. Bending over to pick them up. (without bending her knees) Her tank top layed so the old black man could get a good look at her white breasts. The old black man's mouth dropped open. Oh! Excuse me. (acting as it was an acident) Kelly headed to the movie. Which was a couple of blocks away. She loved the reaction she had got from the old man. The movie Kelly wanted to see was sold out. She wanted to see a movie. So, she got a ticket to another. Then she saw that another was starting and it was rated R and nobody was around. She went on in. Hardly anybody was there. Kelly sat towards the back . The movie started. When a nude scene started someone came and sat by her. She didn't even pay any mind. She in awe of what was on the screen. This was her first R movie. There on the screen was a black slave climbing on top of his master's white wife to have sex. Kelly liked the sight of the slave's black skin on the white woman's body. Kelly didn't even realize the person beside her had placed their hand onto her knee. But, when he moved his huge hand upto her thigh. Kelly regained her awareness. She turned. It was the old black man. She tried to push his hand away. He just leaned over and kissed her neck. He kissed his way down to the tops of her white breasts. As he moved his hand upto her shorts. He kissed the tops of her breasts as he rubbed her crotch. He then unbuttoned and unzipped her shorts. Even though she liked the sight of his black face to her white chest area. She knew she had to do something before he got any further. She thought to herself (that she shouldn't have teased this old man) As the old black man started pulling at the young white girl's shorts. Stop. Or I'll scream. At this time an usher was making his rounds. Kelly got up to leave. The usher stopped her. your not old enough to see this movie. I know. I came into the wrong movie by acident. Kelly left and went home. It had been several weeks since the incident with the old black man. School had started. Pro football season had started the week before, and Kelly's school was going to have their first game tomorrow morning. Today they were having a pep rally at the end of the school day. Kelly stopped over Stacy's house for awhile. It was about 6:00p.m. Kelly hurried home to help set up things for her dad's party. Every month her dad and some of his friends would get together and have a few drinks and discuss sports. This was her dad's turn to have it at his house. When she got home. Her dad told Kelly that her mother had went out with aunt Mae and that she'd be out late. Kelly helped her dad set things up. Most of the guys were there. Kelly fixed herself something to eat and took it to her room. She turned on the stereo as she ate. It was about 8:15 now and Kelly decided she'd take swim as it was unseasonabley warm tonight. Kelly danced around to the music as she got her bikini out. Without thinking she took her top and bra off. She was in front of the window and hadn't pulled the blinds down. She looked outside and noticed Mr. Turner looking up at her. Mr.Turner was retired runningback from the local pro team. He was black very muscular. He stood about 6 feet tall and weighed around 235 pounds. Kelly was so embarassed. She hurried away from the window and put on her bikini. She thought about not swimming. But, after a half hour she went on down to swim. As she tried to sneak by the rec room. Mr. Turner walked out and almost bumped into her. Oh! Hi. Didn't mean to run you down. Kelly couldn't even speak. By the way. I didn't mean to stare earlier. It isn't everyday you see such beauty. That's ok. (very quietly) As she went onto swim. Kelly swam and relaxed poolside for a couple hours. She went on upto the bathroom and took a shower. Dried herself. Then, slipped on a robe. She went across the hall to her bedroom. As Kelly entered her room she looked to see who was coming up the stairs. It was Mr. Turner. May I use the restroom. Sure. Kelly pushed at the door. The door sounded like it closed. But, it came open slightly. Kelly saw Mr. Hicks looking through his upstairs window towards her. He must be around 73 years old. Kelly turned on the radio and started dancing. Her robe came open. Mr. Hicks just stared as she danced. Kelly turned off the overhead light after turning a lamp on. She thought to her self. She'd realy give Mr.Hicks a surprise. She slipped her robe off. Exposing her totaly naked body to him. After all he was in his house and to old to do anything. She danced around for a few more seconds. Then she layed down on her bed. Mr.Hicks still had view of her. Kelly was turning into a real tease and was liking it. She rolled over onto her belly, so that Mr.Hicks would get a good look at her butt. She heard the bathroom door open. She glanced at a mirror across the room, and noticed her door was open slightly. She thought about getting up and closing it. But it was to late. Mr.Turner was in the hallway next to her doorway. Kelly acted to be asleep. After a few seconds she heard the door close. Kelly figured that he pulled the door closed. But, when she heard some movement. She became terrified. She kept her eyes shut as if she was sleeping. She then felt Mr.Turner run his hand up the back of her white thigh. Kelly trembled as he caressed her young white buns. She instantly felt herself getting wet inside. Mr.Turner kissed her white butt. Kelly liked this but knew it was wrong. She turned over onto her back. Don't! Then she saw him. Totaly naked huge black man. Huge biceps, a very muscular chest, ripple tummy. Kelly let out a quiet gasp as she noticed his huge erect penis. It must be 11inches long and realy fat. She couldn't get her eyes off of his huge black monstercock. Mr.Turner walked upto her face. Suck on it. No! as she thought ( that would be gross) He rubbed his black cock across her lips a couple times. He then went to the foot of the bed and knelt down. He kissed the young white girl's thighs working his way up. Don't! Stop! I'll scream. As squeezed her legs together. He kissed her blonde pubic hair, then lower belly. Kelly became speachless as he kissed white belly and licked at her bellybutton. Mr.Turner wasn't going to take a no for an answer at this point. He kissed his way to her teenage white breasts. He kissed and sucked at her nipples at the same time ran his hand to her young pussy. Kelly let out a moan, as he inserted his finger inside her. She tried to push him away. Even though she was enjoying what he was doing. Kelly knew this was bad and besides he would most likely rip her in half. Mr.Turner rubbed at her teenage pussy for moment to lubricate the outside of her pussylips. Mr.Turner climbed onto the bed to mount her little white body. Kelly held her legs together. Please don't It will hurt me. It only will hurt for a moment. Ohhh! As Mr.Turner rubbed his huge black cock up and down her little pussy. He pushed forward. No penetration. He gave big shove forward. Still no penetration of the little white girl's pussy. He pushed again and finaly managed to get his cockhead inside her. Kelly tightened up. He pushed a little deeper. She felt his huge black cock press against her hyman. She knew that one more push would pop her cherry. Just as he drew back. A knock at the door. Kelly! Kelly! Are you awake. As the door opened. Mr.Turner jumped off the side of the bed. Hi dear. Mmmom! Yes. Are you ok? ya. Dad, said you'd be late. The movie was sold out. So, I came home early. Are you sure? That you are ok. Yes. Just tired. I've told you to pull the blinds down. You are old enough now that guys will love to see you dress and undress. You sure seem nervouse. Is there anything wrong? No mom! Well, you look flush and sweaty. I'll get the thermetor. No. That's ok. I'm alright. Ok. Call for me if you need me. Goodnight. Goodnight mom. Kelly was trembleing. Mr.Turner jumped up and dressed and quietly went back downstairs where there were still a few men gathered having their last drink. Kelly finaly fell asleep a couple hours later. But, within another hour she woke up from a bad dream. Her mother rushed in and comforted her. Kelly couldn't tell her mother that she dreamed about being raped by twelve black men. After this Kelly quit teasing men for a couple weeks. She started slowly once more. She would mostly like old black men. She would go without a bra and leave a button undone then lean over in front of them. During the holiday vacation. When her parents were at work. Kelly even went totaly naked. Except a long winter coat. She rode the public bus all the way downtown. She aboat croaked when an old black man sat beside her. They talked awhile. He was headed to work. He was going to retire in the spring, after 40 years of service. When he looked the other way. Kelly undid the top button of her coat. Which exposed just a little of the tops of her white breasts. Your a very pretty young lady. You need to be careful. Someone may try to have their way with you. I can take care of myself. Here's my stop. Take care. Kelly felt ashamed. She stopped such things. Untill the last day of school. She had worn her white blouse and plaid skirt.(the catholic school girl look) She decided to walk home since it was very nice day out and school let out early. She was walking through the park. She was nearing the walk bridge across the creek. She heard some voices coming from under the car bridge nearby. There were three black hobos. There was nobody else in sight. They were washing theirselves in the creek. She starred at them. They only had their pants on. But, she liked the sight o their black chests. Kelly also knew that they would most likely see her cross the walkway. She was realy excited. After a moment she slipped her bra then pantys off and put them in her backpack. This excited her. Even though they were to far away to notice. She only had two blocks to go to get home from the park. When she walked across the walkway. The men whistled and yelled to her. They were close enough to see that she was a pretty girl. Kelly liked this but ignored them. But, then she noticed they were following her. She picked up her pace. A short distance from the street. They caught her. One of the black hobos grabbed her. Turned her around. Man! We're goin to have a good time today. As he saw her quarter sized pink nipples poking through her blouse. Then a cop drove by. Then backed up. The men ran off. Mam! Were they bothering you? As the cop walked upto her. No sir. He was a tall black man in his fortys. He took a double take when he noticed her pirky breasts through her blouse. You need to watch how you dress. Your asking for trouble. That night she dreamed of Mr.Turner fucking her. She woke up in a sweat. She was showering when her parents yelled in at her. Honey! We're headed to work early. Kelly wondered more and more what it would feel like to be fucked by a black man. Mr.Turner was very gentle with her. She couldn't believe how close she came to being fucked. Kelly thought to herself-(I know it's wrong. But, I'm going to find out today) She put on her bikini pantys then bra and her summer sundress. After slipping on shoes she went downtown on the bus. Remembering the first experience with an old black man. She walked towards the alley where she first saw him. It was almost 10:00a.m. Ahead was a tall old black man. It might even be the same man. Kelly acted as if she didn't notice him. She walked as if going to the library. Hey baby! Don't you say hi to your friends? So, she knew he was the same man and he remembered her. Oh. Hi. (acting not to be interested) Hey! You want a puppy. (Knowing this was a ploy) (Even though she was scared-she was going through with her plan) Sure! Where is it? Down here. In a box. Directing her to the alley. Kelly nervousely followed. I sleep here and this puppy came upto me and had no tags. A third of the way through the alley. There were stacks of large cardboard boxes with blankets on them. There were five other old black men laying on their blankets. Untill they seen her. Kelly started to leave. Not soon enough. They surrounded her. Don't I'll scream! One of the black men pulled out a knife. No you won't. Unless! Kelly stood there while the black men fondled her. Two of them fondled her breasts and two others played with her firm butt. One watched the street as one of the black men unzipped her sundress and slipped the straps off of her shoulders. Her dress fell to her ankles. Please! Don't hurt me. The man with the knife walked upto her. Not saying a word. Cut the right strap of her bra. With the other black men laughing he cut the left strap. Starring into her eyes he ran the knife across the tops of her breasts. Then suddenly cut her bra in half. Kelly's bra fell to the ground. Exposing her firm white breasts to the old black bums. They all got quiet. Starring at the young white girl. The black man put the knife up. Then with two hands grabbed her pantys and ripped them from her petite teenage body. Kelly felt herself getting wet. Even though she was terrified. Here she was a virgin about to be raped by six old black men in an alley downtown. She didn't even know if they would kill her or not. Kelly just watched as the man in front of her dropped his pants and undershorts. He was black as midnight. His cock was hard pointing towards her. It was smaller than Mr.Turner's. But, Kelly didn't see how it would fit into her. Kelly shaked like a leaf and tears started to run down her face. The black man's cock pressed against her belly as he stepped closer. He shoved her down onto a blanket. He knelt down and pushed her legs apart. She was to scared to fight back. She looked to the side as he mounted her. She noticed that the other men's dicks were larger and fatter. He whispered to her I'm the nice one. The others would just ram it inside you. He rubbed his black cock up and down her blonde pussy 4 or 5 times to slicken her up. He then pushed forward. Without sucess. Then another, and another. Your one tight chick. One more huge shove forward and Kelly felt his cockhead push inside her. Then another push and he was touching her hyman. He pulled back. Then with a smile gave a quick shove forward. Kelly screamed out in pain as his black dick ripped through her hyman. The black man took pleasure at the painful look on her face. Your just a spoiled white brat. As he slammed all 8 inches of his cock into her. Blood ran down her butt. He squeezed her white tits so hard she thought that they would pop. She felt his hairy black balls slamming against her white butt. The other black bums were urging him to hurry. They wanted their turn. The pain subsided after a couple minutes or so and Kelly was starting to enjoy the fucking she was getting. She wrapped her legs across the backs of his. Kelly let out moans of delight as the black man pounded his cock into her white pussy. She was about to climax when she felt the man cum inside her. With one more lunge forward. He pulled out of her. Who's next. She's a fine piece. The next black hobo ordered her to her hands and knees. Like a dog you know. After penetrating the young white girl from behind another got infront to force her to suck him. She learned quick how to suck. Kelly first thought it was gross to have a man's dick inside her mouth. After a couple minutes she even started enjoying cocksucking. The man behind her fucked her as hard and fast as he could. Making her buns and tits bounce around. She felt herself building to a climax again. This time she squeeled in delight as she climaxed and felt the black man cum inside her pussy. The old black man in front was cumming into her mouth as the man behind pulled his black cock out and squirted a couple times across her butt. The two black men quickly stepped away from the petite white girl. When another layed beside her and directed her on top of him. Kelly sat on his 12 inch black snake. She let out a gasp in dispair as the last 4 inches went inside her. It was uncomfortable as he fucked her. But, after a moment it felt good being stretched this far. She figured he must have the biggest dick in the world. To her surprise one of remaining black men knelt behind her. He pushed her forward. He guided his 10inch black cock to her white butt. He gave a hard continued push. Kelly screamed and tears appeared again as she felt like she was being ripped in half. Without hesitation the black men fucked her hard and unmerciful. One in her white ass and the other in her blonde pussy. Even though it hurt after a few minutes of being double fucked. Kelly yelled out in another orgasm. As the black man inside her butt squirted streams and streams of cum inside her. Then the last black man traded places with the man that was buttfucking her. As he started buttfucking the teenage white girl. He yelled out. Hey! we're a oreo cookie. Kelly was getting exhausted and was going limp. It felt like she would pass out. Then she orgasmed again. After she came off of her third orgasm, the man pumped her white ass full of his black seed. He quickly withdrew from her as the man under her. Rolled over on top of her. He went to fucking his black 12 inch pole in and out of her as fast as he could. He sucked on her white breast. When he started cumming inside her he bit down. Kelly let out a yelp. This didn't stop her from climaxing again, for the fourth time. The man stood up. She was exhausted and just layed there. To her amazement they were still standing around naked. We want you to meet Bubba. Kelly was amazed when she saw Bubba. He was about 50yrs.old 6ft.6in. tall 220pds. His cock must be around 14 inches long. As he mounted Kelly's little white body. He told her that he was going to fuck her brains out. It looked like a black monster mounting a little white doll. He entered her slowly. Even though she had been reamed out several times. It was slow going for him to get his black cock into her. After getting 10 inches inside her white pussy. He started fucking her hard. After a few minutes his huge black balls were smacking against her white butt cheeks. Kelly orgasmed first. Then she felt him shoot a couple of squirts of cum inside her pussy. He pulled his huge black cock out of her and finished cumming all over her flat white belly. After he stepped back. She was surrounded by the other six black men. They jirked theirselves off all over her. She was drenched in cum. Her hair and face was covered with cum. Her white breasts, belly, pubic hair, pussy, and butt was also was covered with cum. She thought to herself I can't move. She figured that she was about to pass out with exhaustion. Kelly just layed there naked and covered with cum. The black men were dressed. When she saw reflections of flashing lights. The black men had went to the entrance of the alley. Kelly heard them talking to what seemed like police officers. She slowly got up and peeked around the corner. It was the police. She grabbed her sundress. As she walked out the otherside of the alley she slipped on the dress. Her shoes had fallen off during all the fucking. Her breasts, pussy, and butt ached from the pounding and stretching. She was drenched in cum which was starting to dry on her now. No place to clean up. Oops. Excuse me. She bumped into a lady. Are you ok. Yeh! Sure. Kelly walked three block as everyone starred at her. Since she was such a mess. People kept asking if she was ok. She got home on the bus. She threw her sundress in the washer, showered. Redressed and fell asleep on the coach.
--I like to lick the shitty bits off Cmdr Tacos crusty ass
f*ck fsck. Thank Linus it's gone /usr/bin shortly after my new RH7.2 upgrade, even though I had the proper permissions. It turned out not to be some weird ext3 issue, but the fact that the RH7.2 install had secretly used (without my knowledge or permission) two of the dirtiest words in the fs language: chattr and immutable. bah. Having eventually figured out the problem, I now stand firm behind ext3.
Of course, 2 days ago I (and a number of Solaris SA's I called in for moral support) blamed ext3 for some really weird problems with me not being able to write/chmod/touch anything in
I run -ac kernels for quite some time, they're just far more stable than the main 2.4 tree. Ext3 is in there for quite some time already.. I don't understand why people think that, if Linus likes it, it must finally be stable: Linus is just exactly messing up things lately. It's for that reason that I still have to run 2.2 on my server. 2.4 is not really stable yet.
ummm... actually if you would read up on windows 2000 you would see that it was based on the win9x clones. But then again you wouldn't be concerned with FACTS now would you
Are there any disk array controllers or other storage devices that do FS-independant journaling at the block level?
It'd be an interesting way of doing backups -- instead of restoring from tape, you could get the disk controller to back out changes to a specific timestamp.
I'm sure there are some gotchas -- without knowledge of the filesystem, a specific hardware level transaction may not have complete filesystem level coherency, for one. And it may take a lot of disk to keep a log of any decent duration.
But it still seems like an interesting way to accomplish some kind of fault tolerance for any OS.
