Hello, I'm just now realizing i sent the previous patch with 1/1 instead of 1/2 in the subject :(. This just lets me use "unclean_journal" as a mount option to flip the appropriate flag for the journal in order to make it not reset the journal when we unmount the fs. Thanks much, Josef Index: linux-2.6/fs/ext3/super.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/fs/ext3/super.c +++ linux-2.6/fs/ext3/super.c @@ -625,6 +625,9 @@ static int ext3_show_options(struct seq_ else if (test_opt(sb, DATA_FLAGS) == EXT3_MOUNT_WRITEBACK_DATA) seq_puts(seq, ",data=writeback"); + if (test_opt(sb, UNCLEAN_JOURNAL)) + seq_puts(seq, ",unclean_journal"); + ext3_show_quota_options(seq, sb); return 0; @@ -756,7 +759,7 @@ enum { Opt_usrjquota, Opt_grpjquota, Opt_offusrjquota, Opt_offgrpjquota, Opt_jqfmt_vfsold, Opt_jqfmt_vfsv0, Opt_quota, Opt_noquota, Opt_ignore, Opt_barrier, Opt_err, Opt_resize, Opt_usrquota, - Opt_grpquota + Opt_grpquota, Opt_unclean_journal, }; static match_table_t tokens = { @@ -807,6 +810,7 @@ static match_table_t tokens = { {Opt_usrquota, "usrquota"}, {Opt_barrier, "barrier=%u"}, {Opt_resize, "resize"}, + {Opt_unclean_journal, "unclean_journal"}, {Opt_err, NULL}, }; @@ -1138,6 +1142,9 @@ clear_qf_name: case Opt_bh: clear_opt(sbi->s_mount_opt, NOBH); break; + case Opt_unclean_journal: + set_opt(sbi->s_mount_opt, UNCLEAN_JOURNAL); + break; default: printk (KERN_ERR "EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option \"%s\" " @@ -1968,6 +1975,12 @@ static void ext3_init_journal_params(str journal->j_flags |= JFS_BARRIER; else journal->j_flags &= ~JFS_BARRIER; + + if (test_opt(sb, UNCLEAN_JOURNAL)) + journal->j_flags |= JFS_UNCLEAN; + else + journal->j_flags &= ~JFS_UNCLEAN; + spin_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock); } Index: linux-2.6/include/linux/ext3_fs.h =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/include/linux/ext3_fs.h +++ linux-2.6/include/linux/ext3_fs.h @@ -380,6 +380,7 @@ struct ext3_inode { #define EXT3_MOUNT_QUOTA 0x80000 /* Some quota option set */ #define EXT3_MOUNT_USRQUOTA 0x100000 /* "old" user quota */ #define EXT3_MOUNT_GRPQUOTA 0x200000 /* "old" group quota */ +#define EXT3_MOUNT_UNCLEAN_JOURNAL 0x400000 /* Leave an unclean journal */ /* Compatibility, for having both ext2_fs.h and ext3_fs.h included at once */ #ifndef _LINUX_EXT2_FS_H -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
