Another Assertion failure in journal_start()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just hit our main server, while doing kernel compile
(producing a .deb using custom script which does quite
some usage of symlinks - hence sys_symlink() operation
is in call trace) -- that particular filesystem stopped
working, while the rest of the system was still operational.

It's 2.6.15.1 kernel running on an athlon-1.3GHz, pretty
old but pretty stable box, with ECC memory.  The filesystem
in question is on top of a raid0 array out of 4 scsi drives
(it's used as a "staging area" for various temporary stuff,
incl. compiles and whatnot).

Any clues about this one?

Note it's the first time I encountered an error like this
one, but I did quite alot of kernel compiles on this box
already since last boot (I'm experimenting with Xen on
another box, this box is used as a "compiling server").
So I can hardly say the problem is "easily reproduceable".

Thanks.

BTW... What's this strange "kernel BUG at <bad filename>:17407!" ?
I've seen similar stuff already on another machine, and it does
not look right...  Also, the "[ cut here ]" line seems to be
misplaced.
