Hi Andreas, Thanks for your reply. Are there any patches in this kernel for these ext3 bugs? Please
guide me to these patches if available. What is the suitable file system for compact flash? I read
that JFFS2 is suitable for raw NAND flash card and is not suitable for CF card.
Is it true? My application has write operation performed to the CF card even
every 3 secs.(worst case) Thanks, Arun -----Original Message----- On Jun 05, 2007 22:01 +0530, Somasundaram, Arun (IE10) wrote: > I have a Kernel 2.4.7-10 with ext3 file system in compact flash.
The > system was up for 3 months and was running with average load
conditions. Unless you have a support contract with some vendor, nobody will look
at bugs from such an old kernel. There are a hundred old bugs that
might have been fixed already. > One fine day, it just started sending kernel messages on the

Probably due to the fact that
ext3 is not a good filesystem to use on CF because the journal is always overwriting the same part of the CF device. Try something like
JFFS2 instead. Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Principal Software Engineer Cluster File Systems, Inc. |
