Hallo I'm new in this list,


I have the follow problem on a,

HW:
HP Lp 2000r: CPU P III 866 MHz, 512 MByte Ram, Raid 5 Controler NetRaid 1i, 
3x SCSI DISK a. 32 GByte

SW:
Linux SuSE-7.1 with servarel patches from the officel SuSE web-server
gcc: version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
libc: version 2.95.2

xfs: utilitys tested with downloaded rpm and selv compiles src-files


the filesystem:

Raid 5 over the 3 disks

/dev/sda1 -> 30 Mb, HP service partiton
/dev/sda2 -> 8Mb fs: ext2 mounted at /boot
/dev/sda3 -> 128Mb swap
/dev/sda4 -> extended partition
        /dev/sda5 -> 1,5 Gb fs:reiserfs mounted at /
        /dev/sda6 -> the rest of the disk fs:reiserfs or xfs mounted at /daten

I patch the officel linux kernel with the latest xfs patch

2.4.5 <- Release-1.0.1

and the 

2.4.6 <- linux-2.4.6-xfs-07052001.patch.bz2

and also have the follow descripted error with the downloadet 

kernel-2.4.5-SGI_XFS_1.0.1.src.rpm file.

I have attached the .config file of the kernel configuration


The compilation of the kernel works fine also the first boot with the new 
kernel 

and now my problem:

if i reboot the server with the xfs kernel and the server coms up there are 
sum files and executables witch i can't access ore execute, 

sum examples: the programms find, make, ... or file hosts, ...

if i reboot the server again, there are much more files that can't access or 
execute, there are alwais other executebles and files by every test, but i 
didn't have this problems with the non patched kernel.

i have also this error at the copy of a lot of file < 4.Gb via mounted nfs 
share to /daten after the first boot with the xfs-kernel, it is no matter if 
/daten is a reiserfs or a xfs filesystem (there are damged files on / and 
/daten).

on a other server with GDT SCSI Disk Array Controller (it is a noname server) 
i havn't this problem

so i think this is a problem with the xfs patch and the AMI MegaRAID 
Controller.

is my supposition right or what is wrong at my configuration?

mfg.

O.K.
