SubjectRe: XFS or Kernel Problem / Bug
Hi!

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
