Hello,
I've found the problem with the following configuration:
- kernel 2.6.13 compiled for x86_64
- new megaraid driver (megaraid_mm.c - 2.20.2.6, megaraid_mbox.c - 2.20.4.6)
- LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SATA 150-6 RAID Controller
- Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 265 AuthenticAMD
The problem looks like read operations are OK, but all write operations
are broken (write data comes to the wrong place?).
It is possible to create partitions, file system (ext2fs), to write files -
all in 32-bit mode (with the same kernel compiled for i686). And after reboot
with x86_64 kernel all data from this filesystem are perfectly readable.
But after attempts to write to this filesystem there are two kinds of result:
(1) no visible changes, and (2) corrupted filesystem.
For example, I am trying to delete partition:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
bash-3.00# fdisk /dev/sdc
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdc: 1200.2 GB, 1200265101312 bytes

Command (m for help): d 1

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

bash-3.00#
-----------------------------------------------------------------
OK, looks like partition has been deleted. But
-----------------------------------------------------------------
bash-3.00# fdisk /dev/sdc
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdc: 1200.2 GB, 1200265101312 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 145923 cylinders

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 400 3212968+ 83 Linux
Command (m for help): q
bash-3.00#
-----------------------------------------------------------------
No any error diagnostics. mke2fs reports the success, but mount can't
recognize the created filesystem. I kindly appreciate any help or ideas -
what may be wrong.
Some relevant information:
