Found blogs about the subject. Fixes ranged from editing the registry
to fix a RPC setting to renaming a logfile directory in case of logfile
corruption. Nothing works and microsoft says the filesystem is in a deadlock
and the only solution is to blow away the entire volume. They say they fixed
it in fixpack 1 but don't offer any solution.
This is another constant reminder why I don't use microsoft products. What a
steaming piece of shit. A file system that can get into a such a deadlock is
beyond belief. A file system in such a state that can't be repaired is even
more incredible.
Microsoft doesn't even suggest copying off the file system contents,
reinitializing it, and copying it back. Probably wouldn't work because of
all the nasty copy protection going on and physical file pointers.
And of course, per microsoft direction, the user is to lose all applications
and user files.
At least I have linux on a live CD and can retrieve and backup the
user's files. I could see the user's files with the vista install media,
but of course it is crippled and there's no way to save the files except
one by one.

I think the progression of this pattern is supposed to be along the lines of
(paraphrase): "Redhat are shills, and in bed with
Novell/Microsoft/NWO/Satan."
Thus, naturally the ext4 file system is evil, and all people that accuse
Linux of having bugs (even known bugs acknowledged by developers) are
shills.
After that the thread is supposed to progress to name calling, and blame
with perhaps some appeals to authority, until it diverges into the nether
regions of each individual shadow.
So now that we know the pattern, I see no reason to post anymore.
Good day, good night, and if I don't see you again, enjoy the voidness.

Why did you Schestowitz his link to an ext4 deadlock?
--
--Tim Smith
Perhaps you didn't read the thread carefully. The original poster
complained of a fixed bug in Windows involving a file system deadlock,
and said the existence of such a bug is a reason he doesn't use Windows.
If the original poster was going to be rational, then he would also have
to eliminate Linux, for having fixed deadlock bugs.
If Erik is being pathetic here, than so was the original poster.

--Tim Smith
What's the difference? Errr... about 3 years. The quote you used was
from 2003, and on 2.4.x.
But you don't understand. Every fault, bug, lapse of quality and crummy
method of doing anything has stood still for over a decade on Windross.
So that means it had to stop advancing everywhere else, too.

More lying idiocy from a Windows-using "advocate". You guys are as
worthless as the tinkertoy slopware you pretend to care about at night.
How is that relevant? AZ Nomad complained that the mere ability for a
deadlock bug to appear in a filesystem is grounds to not use the OS.
And I posted a much newer deadlock bug, which was snipped, which you keep
ignoring. Twice now, even after I told you. So what's your point?
Just because you're ignorant of the many ways you can repair such a system
in Windows doesn't mean it can't be repaired. You guys love to blame
people for their ignorance, except of course when it's your own.
I also provided a quote from earlier this year. Here it is again. Let's
see if Mart snips this again.
Why should I? If the first link once again proves Erik's penchant for
lying, why do you expect me to check the rest?
Erm.
In case you hadn't noticed, ext4 is bleeding edge. It *will* have bugs,
because it hasn't been tested on a wide range of real-world systems yet.
And you complain because I snip out the obviously irrelevant and
concentrate on your obvious lies?
That's really rich.
Erik's articles don't alll appear in my feed, so piggybacking:
Yes, a quota bug is not the same as a filesystem bug. Quotas are an
optional system, that must be explicitly turned on.
But trust a piece of shit liar like Erik to try and weasel his way out
from yet another of his lies.

But still is part of the filesystem. In fact, the relevant patches include
specific filesystem code.
Note the diff command for code in ext3:
diff -ruX ../kerndiffexclude linux-2.4.22-fixstat/fs/ext3/super.c linux-2.4.22-deadlock/fs/ext3/super.c
Specifically, the code needed to be changed in ext3.. and not ext2 or
reiser, or any other fs. So don't pretend that this is code that's
irrelevant to ext3.
> But trust a piece of shit liar like Erik to try and weasel his way out

Such a mouth on you. Why don't you try to explain how it's not ext3's
fault (even though changes had to be made to ext3's code and it didn't
affect any other filesystem) instead of cursing like a sailor?
Oh, I get it.... You are *parodying* Linux Advocates...
Oh, how *clever*...
No, you posted a link to a brand new "bleeding edge" filesystem bug...
surprise, surprise... nothing at all to do with ext3.
But of course I'm not really surprised. You pull these dishonest stunts
all the time.
Yes, the quota code has to interact with the filesystem code. Got any
more obvious statements to make? Like 'the earth is round'? Or 'I am a
fucking lying weasel'?

You're at the end of the road again.
If there was ever any doubt that the Linux "advocates" in COLA are lying
immoral scumbags then this ought to remove it.
These Linux advocates are the biggest bunch of word-twisting lying weasels
on the planet. Their entire argument boils down to this:
'There was once a filesystem locking bug on Windows. I refuse to run any OS
that has such bugs.'
Two such bugs are then shown in ext3 and ext4.
The freetards then argue 'But that's different. It doesn't count. We have
excuses for our bugs.'
What a bunch of lying scum... every last one of them because not a single
"advocate" has the balls or honesty to admit that Sleazy Gonad shot off his
mouth in ignorance and Linux also has filesystems bugs. But no... each and
every "advocate" must lie, twist-words and argue minutia/semantics rather
than admit that Linux also has filesystem bugs - WHICH IT DOES!!!!!

Do you have any idea how moronic you sound when you trot out the
four year old's argument "noimnotyouare" even if you are doing it

"millions of tmp files he couldn't figure out how to delete"
under Vista.

AZNomad seems to be one of them.
Ahhh, the old Linux excuse of "it's bleeding edge" or one of
it's variants "it's beta" or "it's free, what do you expect"
etc.
The Linux community has hundreds of such excuses to account for
Linux's failures.
They call them Linux "distributions".

You seem to have a mistaken understanding of what my post was about.
I was not using it as a "jump-off" to say Linux sucks. Far from it.
I was simply pointing out how AZ Nomad was mistaken in his original post by
pointing out that Linux also has had similar bugs, so his excuse as to why
Windows sucks is flawed, because otherwise he's also claiming Linux sucks.

Do you have any idea how moronic you sound when you make pathetic excuses
as to why your original argument against Windows doesn't apply to Linux,
despite similar problems having affected Linux?
I know you're upset at having your argument turned against you (and you can
always tell, because you guys get so pissed off and start flinging all
kinds of insults when you're caught).. but grow up. You lost the argument.
If it was a problem specifically with the quota system, and not the
filesystem, then why is it that ext3 had to be modified? And why is it
that it was the only filesystem that needed to be modified?
The only rational explanation is that it was a bug in both systems, thus
both had to be modified.
Please, don't pretend that it's not a bug in the filesystem when the
filesystem had to be modified.
I just emailed him the link.
The IT department is full of college interns on summer break,
some of whom are Linux oddballs. I'm sure I'll hear all the gory
details at his party on Saturday.
He had a kid last year who forgot to go home at 5:00PM.
The cleaning crew found him asleep hunched over the keyboard at
2:00AM or so.
They thought he was dead.
He told his boss that he was banging out "crunchy code", got so
involved that he forgot to go home.
He was a Linux oddball of course.
Nice explanation. All is forgiven.

Not really. Linux can be repaired if the file system is readable.
Windows, even though the file system is readable, is damaged beyond repair
in the situation described (black screen of death).
Only booting with a live linux CD will recover such a windows system.

Even if that were true (and it's not), it doesn't change the fact that your
argument was flawed. Here, let me quote what you said again.
---------------
This is another constant reminder why I don't use microsoft products. What
a steaming piece of shit. A file system that can get into a such a
deadlock is beyond belief.
---------------
You are clearly claiming a filesystem which can have deadlocks is a
steaming piece of shit. Yet I pointed out two cases (and there are more)
of Linux filesystems having deadlock bugs in the past.
Yes, you did say this:
"A file system in such a state that can't be repaired is even more
incredible."
But that's not true, despite what you seem to think.
No such bug has been shown in ext3. Such a bug has been shown in running
quotas on ext3. This *is* a different thing.
I know you stupid guys like to feel superior to people who are more
intelligent than a brick, but shouting is not going to make a lie more
true.

Not only that, but the bug was at the alpha testing level.
If he considers it to be equivelent to the vista black screen of death,
then he is admitting that vista is an alpha release.

It was in ext3. I showed you the diffs. You want to bury your head in the
sand, fine.

No, it wasn't. It was in both the stable and the alpha testing level.
Let me repeat the title:
"EXT3 deadlock in 2.4.22 and 2.4.23-pre7"
What part of 2.4.22 do you think is "alpha testing level"?
Just keep on making excuses.

No, I answered the question. It is not my fault you can't distinguish
between core filesystem features and optional subsystems.
Just like it isn't my fault you don't understand iptables.

Yes, and as usual, you didn't read. The quoted e-mail specifically
mentioned that this was an ext3/quota interaction bug. Not an ext3 bug.
Do you have to work at being this stupid?

What part of ext3/quota interaction bug doesn't involve ext3?
If it involves ext3, and it's a bug, and ext3 has to be modified to fix it,
it's a fault in ext3. Period.
All of the above are true.
> Do you have to work at being this stupid?
Apparently a lot harder than you do.

No.
But then again, from someone who apparently doesn't know that flushing
an iptables chain closes all open connections, I won't expect any
filesystem knowledge.
You can try to weasel as much as you want, but this post is on a par
with your 'dozens of root exploits'.
It was ext4, not ext3. Your link:
http://osdir.com/ml/linux-ext4/2009-03/msg00065.html
Got anything newer for ext3 than 2003 and kernel 2.4.X? Or do you
intend to pretend they're the same thing?

Here's the message ID:
<slrnh4n2is....@ip70-176-155-130.ph.ph.cox.net>
Please show where he made that statement. What he stated, and this is a
direct quote:
Nothing works and microsoft says the filesystem is in a deadlock and
the only solution is to blow away the entire volume. They say they
fixed it in fixpack 1 but don't offer any solution.
What he was bitching about was there being no solid fix for it ("fixes
ranged from editing the registry to fix a RPC setting to renaming a
logfile directory in case of logfile corruption") and the monopoly
didn't have (or offer) a clue about what to do with it except wipe it
and start over.
You simply took the word "deadlock" and used it as a diversion away
from the half-assed product the monopoly pushes on people like drugs on
future addicts.
So, where is a newer deadlock dealing with ext3 (not ext4, as you
already tried to pass off as related)? And while you're at it, try a
different subject diversion because you got caught. Again.

You don't understand. Erik pointed out a linux bug associated with
alpha code. He is trying to make us understand that we shouldn't hold
vista to any higher standard. We need to understand that vista is also alpha
quality code. Of couse, we already knew vista is crap.

That's the other hole in his specious claims. Vista was supposed to be
a finished product. A finished product that took the better part of a
decade to produce. But ext3 was still fairly new. It didn't become
mainstream for awhile after the only link Erkel posted about it.
And he tried to hide from that by producing a link for ext4 which still
isn't what I'd call finished, despite the fact that some distros seem
to want to push it anyway.
At least we got a preview of the new dance routine:

Um, yeah, *supposed* to be*. However it was just last year that Uncle
Fester declared it to be "Work In Progress".

Now, is that a euphemism for: We're going to bring out Vista 2 (i.e
Windows 7) & you suckers are have to gonna pay for *that* too!

Yes, but they often give you a *choice* of which fs to use; xfs,
reiserfs, ext3, etc. It's not like good 'ol windoze which slaps you with
a choice of....errr........*one* filesystem!
