What is jfs utility?

2.2 is suggested only for 5801? ( have 5800..)

Now i have 2.1 and i don't have any problem...

Update to 2.2 is suggested?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
JFS utilities are useful only if you want a fs in JFS type.

No. It's suggested for everyone.

Yes. Why not? :rolleyes:

You'll only want to wait for v2.2.1 if you use BLN (not your case) or if you want a fs in jfs..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Vic 17:
"JFS utilities are useful only if you want a fs in JFS type"

ehm... i don't understand sorry... :o

central something with fs.convert?

sorry for my noobiness
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] i_rnb:
Jfs is a filesystem lyk ext4, ext2 & rfs etc.

If u want to use jfs as one of ur partitions filesystem, u will need to use jfs utilities. :)

:D ok so we are waiting for 2.2.1? no problem thank you...but i dont think i have CWM :) i have root explorer isnt that the same? :P how do i flash the zip should i delete lights.s5p6442.so and paste the lights.GT-I5800.so instead?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Sure, you can do it through root explorer. Download the lights.*.so file only and replace the existing one in /system/lib/hw/ with this one :)

And yes, v2.2.1 is coming soon, don't know when, but soon. Only changes will be JFS bins and bln fix.

there aren't more the idea to change color of cwm recovery to something like cyan? :P

uploading v2.2.1

I'm uploading v2.2.1.. in a few minutes they should all be up.

Also, BLN Installer and lights.*.so files have been updated. So I recommend to flash that too (Only needed if you use 5801 or 5800L and want to use BLN).

This version is highly recommended for BLN and 5801 users, or people who may want to use JFS. Otherwise.. you don't need this update.

Changelog, where it always is :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
Thanks for your work! The last thing that keeps me from using g3mod, and I'd really like to use it, is the sound bug on CM7. Sebastien changed something in his kernel which still didn't change in the g3mod I guess and the bug is still there. Maybe you could ask him or work together as you already do? As this is really annoying when using the phone as music player what many people do I guess.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Could you describe a little deeper this bug? When does it happen? all the time or just when doing something specific? any other information would help us debug it ;)

jfs convert

Hi,

running with jfs

Guys ...

Seems that what I have ever read over the net was true : jfs is good for small files.

Quadrant score almost the same on my rom (750 instead of 760 with ext4), but, more important, the phone is VERY responsive !

Believing AndroBench (I/O benchmark), jfs is 7x faster than ext4 for random write, and a little bit slower for random read. Sequential read/write quiet the same.

Now, let's see if it's stable ... see you next week !

Enjoy.

:):):):):):)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I have the i5800. It will never work for me.

There's no sound bug. Use a different media player.

JFS is a different filesystem. It's fast.

Use a different media player.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
I installed light flow but the leds are just blinking randomly!!

NOOBish question: what does bln is supposed to do?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] manish19:
BLN is basically a visual notification that has been added. It would only work for I5801 users as they has touch buttons with back lit led.

On receiving a message the lights blink. Thats BLN. :-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sidzcool:
I flashed 2.2.1 and bln works fine now.... It will be interesting to see how the battery handles the bln....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] koko008:
Define small, please! I'm using ext2 on my SD because I've read somewhere, that it's perfectly sufficient, since I don't need journaling. My phone is qiute responsive now, I just want to verify if I should convert SD ext to jfs.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Halco:
Just wanna know a thing, BLN is not supposed to blink leds when screen is off too ? Otherwise is it really useful ? ^^'
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
Which one supports the lockscreen buttons? And why does it work for Sebastiens kernel? Will this be fixed in alpha7 of CM7 or will we have this bug forever?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
BLN as it was intended by neldar is supposed to light the keys when a notification comes in so you dont have to turn on your display just to check if you missed something and find out you did not. on sgs bln uses slightly (but not really significant) more battery if you leave a notification waiting than without a notification. and the buttons do not blink on sgs, as the led controller does not support blinking and thus the cpu would need to do this, what would in turn prevent it from sleeping
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Notification or no notification. This version on bln keeps on blinking randomly!! And the blink is so fast that you hardly notice it!!!

Guess you have to configure it via some app!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sidzcool:
Hmmn it's blinks fine for me ... if I don't see any messages it does blink ...:-)

Sent from My Super Cool Galaxy 3 with Kyrillos Rom 9.1 and g3mod 2.2.1
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Thats what i am saying!! even if there are no messages it just blinks!! :)

Like in sgs cm7 when you get any notification the led stayes on..

But not in our sg3 case. It keeps blinking randomly! :P

With 2g data connection on 2.2 and 2.2.1 also.

Please fix it.

Frankly speaking... v1.8 and 1.9 handled battery properly. Don't know what is going on with the upgraded versions.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Well I use Jukefox, but sound bugs related to the format of the music is nothing to do with drivers for the sound chip or something along those lines. If it messes up more with FLAC then it is the media player using too much resources. Use a different CPU governor or a media player that doesn't suck up the CPU.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Confirmed already!! +1
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
Confirmed BLN also doesn t work. It blinks about 2 4 times and then it stops.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
this sounds to me as if the cpu does the blinking, and then falls asleep causing the blink to stop.

If you have a class 10 sdcard you may have a perf gain with jfs. Just trying.

Its backlight led notification trigger. Its a new kernel Mod. Thanks to G3 team.

But the BLN is not working properly, it blinking instead of flowing steadily, even while i am using it. And evem when notifications such as mail messages,g-talk chats comes in it blinks randomly. Its not properly integrated I guess.

[Q] curious about JFS, buuuuut

what about:

mkfs.jfs

fsck / fsck.jfs

can't find them in my system and wondering what to do, if something is crashing the system.

Is there the possibility to do it just with "fsck" or "e2fsck"???

defragmentation:

Fragmentation of the FS seems to become a problem after a while. So I found following script to defragmentize it.

The question is, would this script work anyway on our phone, as I assume, you need some free space for it. Could it work with dd ...... of=/somewhereonSDcard ??

Also interesting would be the question of external journal and Deadline I/O Scheduler

However, I would like to try, but I'm not sure, if it is easy and fast anymore, if there TROUBLE comes up in the filesystem - so I have my doubts on it.

Has someone made experience yet?

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
They're called jfs_mkfs and jfs_fsck and they are in /sbin.

I think you just formatted your /system. You need to reflash it. Do 'mount -t jfs /dev/block/stl6 /system' and check.

Yeah it's not in /system, it's in /sbin.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Ok. BLN seems that BLN isn't working for all.. so I'm going back to the previous BLN system (led blink is supported by max8998 driver, and doesn't use linux led framework as in current version). Let's see if this one work.. :)

So original BLN by neldar doesn't blink? it just turns the leds on? I thought it did blink :rolleyes:. In that case I'll stick to neldar's bln...

PD: I'll need two betatesters for BLN (This time I want to check with someone else before releasing...). Any volunteers? :D

jfs strange things

Well, jfs is blazing fast but I'm facing very strange things with it :

-Unable to wipe market cache in Settings/Manage app. Actually, market cache indicates 0kb !

-Going into Settings/Sound/Ringtones, my sounds list is empty !

This happens after some reboots and it's the second time I see that (after going back to ext4 and then converting again to jfs). I checked the partitions with jfs_fsck and they are clean.

An other very strange thing:

-Starting with an ext4 rom

- Converting /cache & /system into jfs :ok

- Converting /data in jfs : at first boot it seems to be a hard reset and the phone freeze at ADWLauncher first launch splash screen. Then reboot ... and everything's ok (actually there is no hard reset). Also, after converting and first reboot, partition appears as "g3mod_data /dev/block/stl7"; at second reboot partition appears normal "/data /dev/block/stl7".

This is f.... strange ! Anyone else is facing that ? any idea ??
