And yes it was repeatable after a reboot... So I ran xfs_check on that partition and it reported errors. Then I ran xfs_repair and after that rebooted, but the problem was still there. Finally I switched the partition back to ext3, because it got too scary. But the oops is now repeatable even on this new ext3 partition. There are no errors in the smartd log. I will run "smartctl -t long" now and will report back if it finds any errors. -- Markus - 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/
