Subject: 0.99p8-8 - ext2fs-problem
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1993 15:28:52 GMT

Hello,

I have some more information about ext2fs-problems to add.

I use a 76MB-ext2fs-Partition, which I made with
        mke2fs /dev/hda3

I have mounted it to /usr/spool/news.

Everytime space gets narrow (it still says about 15MB, but this is
small enough to trigger trouble), the uuxqt fails with
        
    "Kernel panic: ext2: get_group_desc: invalid group"

After this message, the ext-2fs stood still, anything else not accessing it
worked flawless, but a df or sync simply hang and could not got
rid off by a "kill -9"...

Are there any fixes available?

Linux 0.99p8-8 with ext2fs-2d (30/03/93) - my tools are still 2c...

Now after deleting only 5MB of articles I gained more than 10MB additional
space - can I trust my eyes ?!

And after having about 30MB-diskspace (as far as df tells me), uuxqt simply
workes fine.

Cheers, Michael Will
