Hi all I think there is a problem about journal in ext3. in linux-2.6.17/include/linux/ext3_jbd.h /* Define the number of blocks we need to account to a transaction to * modify one block of data. * * We may have to touch one inode, one bitmap buffer, up to three * indirection blocks, the group and superblock summaries, and the data * block to complete the transaction. */ #define EXT3_SINGLEDATA_TRANS_BLOCKS 8U The indirection blocks' modification also need their bitmap buffer and the group summaries be modified, I think. So the block count should be 8U + 3*2; Additionally, the journal operations in namei.c or inode.c also have the problem like that. Am I right? or misunderstand? cheers, zhangjw - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
