A more likely source of problems would be changes in the VM subsystem (XFS metadata buffers are cached in the page cache). > Is there any other way to diagnose this? The failure you see is XFS reporting corruption in a directory btree buffer which didn't have an appropriate magic number at its start when read in from disk. There's thousands of potential reasons why that may have happened; more often than not these days its an error thats occured outside of XFS though, and XFS is passing on the bad news. If you can find a reproducible test case, you're half way there. If you can find a reproducible test case on a kernel.org kernel, you're 95% of the way there, cos then we can more easily help. ;) cheers. -- Nathan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
