Hi!
The update of the IDE layer was in 2.6.19. I don't think it is a
hardware bug cause all these 5 machines runs fine since a few years with
2.6.16.X and before. We switch to 2.6.18.6 on monday last week and all
machines began to crash periodically. On friday last week we downgraded
them all to 2.6.16.37 and all 5 machines runs fine again. So i don't
believe it is a hardware problem. Do you really think that could be?

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.
Hmmm - that points more to a hardware problem than a software problem;
crashes in generic_file_buffered_write() are relatively uncommon, and
to have them all isolated to a specific type of hardware is suspicious....
Wasn't there a major update of the IDE layer in 2.6.18? or was that
2.6.19 that I'm thinking of? BTW, have you run memtest86 on these
boxes to rule out dodgy memory?
Cheers,
Dave.
