服务器评测
一台文件存储服务器单目录下子目录已经突破31998数限制，造成无法继续创建子目录，服务器系统环境为CentOS5.4 内核版本为2.6.18。解决方案只能是升级到ext4文件系统，首先到https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto查了一下资料，文中的第一句便是“Ext4 was released as a functionally complete and stable filesystem in Linux 2.6.28”。难道只能升级内核一条路了吗？当然不是：）呵呵，下面总结本人实施/www分区从ext3升级至ext4步骤供大家参考。
一、升级前状态
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 20315844 2342008 16925196 13% /
/dev/sda5 129863460 192192 122968152 1% /www
/dev/sda1 194442 17798 166605 10% /boot
tmpfs 1029680 0 1029680 0% /dev/shm
无任何信息返回，说明/dev/sda5的ext4特征没有激活
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 | grep extent
[root@USER-SERVER ~]#
安装所需包
源码安装：
wget http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-1.41.14.tar.gz
tar zxvf e2fsprogs-1.41.14.tar.gz; cd e2fsprogs-1.41.14
./configure
make;make install
二、制作引导镜像
查找并加载相应的模块，如只需ext4支持，可将–with=ext3去掉
[root@USER-SERVER boot]# mv /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img.old
[root@USER-SERVER boot]# mkinitrd -v –with=ext4 –with=ext3 /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`

重启
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# reboot
三、格式转换
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# umount /dev/sda5
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# tune2fs -O has_journal,extents,huge_file,flex_bg,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,extra_isize /dev/sda5
tune2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Please run e2fsck on the filesystem.
四、修改转换文件系统错误并挂载
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# e2fsck -fDC0 /dev/sda5 -y
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda5 /www
五、修改文件系统信息(重要！否则重启后会还原为ext3)
将
LABEL=/www /www ext3 defaults 1 2
修改为
LABEL=/www /www ext4 defaults 1 2
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# vi /etc/fstab
root@USER-SERVER ~]# vi /etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/www /www ext4 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
六、升级后状态
ext4的特征全激活了：）
#[root@USER-SERVER ~]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 | grep extent
Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize
[root@USER-SERVER ~]# df -T
