Re: XFS crashed twice, once in 2.6.16.20, next in 2.6.17, reproducable

[Duncan Sands]

I just got a new XFS crash running 2.6.17, again with problems at block
16777216 - I'll try to make a copy of the corrupted filesystem available.
Interestingly enough, I'm also seeing ext3 corruption.  The usual
manifestation is that a program fails to run, with a message about it
not being in executable format (if it happens again I will take a note of
the exact message).  I've had no problems at all with 2.6.17.  It seems
to be happening randomly, which makes me suspect a race condition
(uniprocessor machine, but preemptable kernel), or memory corruption.
I will rebuild the kernel with all kernel debugging options turned
on, once I recover the filesystem.

Ciao,

D.
