Panic with XFS on RHEL5 (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5)

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

 



All,

I've got a box running RHEL5 and haven't been impressed by ext3 performance on it (running of a 1.5TB HP MSA20 using the cciss driver). I compiled XFS as a module and tried it out since I'm used to using it on Debian, which runs much more efficiently. However, every so often the kernel panics as below. Apologies for the tainted kernel, but we run VMware Server on the box as well.

Does anyone have any hits/tips for using XFS on Red Hat? What's causing the panic below, and is there a way around this?

Many thanks,
Chris Boot
