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

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.
