           Summary: System freeze on XFS filesystem recovery on an
                    external disk
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.31-rc2-git9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: XFS
        AssignedTo: xfs-masters@xxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: jean.luc.coulon@xxxxxxxxx

Distribution: Debian Sid
System: Athlon 64 x2 4200+
Architecture: X86_64
Latest kernel without the problem: 2.6.30.1
I never got it on 2.6.30. It seems that it was the latest kernel without this
problem.
Latest tested kernel where the problem occured: 2.6.31-rc2-git9 (not yet tested
on rc3.)

Hi,

I've an external disk (SATA) connected in USB.
If, for some reason, the disk has not been umounted correctly, I get a freeze
of the system while trying to access it.
Mostly it is done by a cron process to do backup.

The last messages in the syslog befor the crash are always:

Jul 14 10:36:10 tangerine kernel: Starting XFS recovery on filesystem: sdd4
(logdev: internal)
Jul 14 10:36:10 tangerine kernel: Ending XFS recovery on filesystem: sdd4
(logdev: internal)

At this point, it is mounting the device for a backup (with backup2l).

I've set File system -> XFS but, as the disk is on an USB attachement, it can
be something else...

Regards

Jean-Luc
