I'm not shure but perhaps it isn't an XFS Bug. Here is what i find out: We've about 300 servers at the momentan and 5 of them are "old" Intel Pentium 4 Machines with a DFI PM-12 Mainboard with VIA chipset. It only happens on THESE Machines. Other P4 Machines with a Tyan Mainboard or a Gigabyte Mainboard are not affected. All 300 machines runs the same Debian 3.0 with self build kernel. Some of these 5 use a 3ware controller and some of them the mainboardcontroller. All systems are using IDE. But i cannot say what happens to these machines at the time of failure. Sometimes these servers crashed directly after a few minutes. Sometimes they run about 2-3 days... i've now downgraded all servers to 2.6.16.37. Cause they are production machines... but i have one machine where we can test - if you need something. Here is the output running 2.6.16.37 at the moment: xfs_growfs -n / meta-data=/dev/root isize=256 agcount=16, agsize=603855 blks = sectsz=512 attr=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=9661680, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=1 naming =version 2 bsize=4096 log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=4717, version=1 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0 Stefan David Chinner schrieb: > On Sun, Jan 21, 2007 at 01:30:15PM +0100, Stefan Priebe - FH wrote: >> Hello! >> >> I've 3 Servers which works wonderful with 2.6.16.X (also testet the >> latest 2.6.16.37) >> >> but with 2.6.18.6 i get these errors: > > [ EIP is at xfs_bmap_add_extent_hole_delay+0x58d/0x59b ] > [ EIP is at generic_file_buffered_write+0x390/0x6cf ] > > Do you have a reproducable test case for these? if not, > do you have any idea what is going on in the system at the time > of the failure? > > Can you describe the storage subsystem you are using and post the > output of xfs_growfs -n <mntpt> on the filesystem that is causing > problems? > > Cheers, > > Dave. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
