Maybe you can use a 1.2TB hole loop mounted.
dd if=/dev/null of=loopfile bs=1024 seek=1288490188
mkfs.xfs loopfile
mount -o loop loopfile /xxx/
I made this, and copy the kernel sources into /xxx/ and got the same errors
like Marc:
Oct 25 14:54:18 donner kernel: xfs_force_shutdown(loop(7,0),0x8) called from
line 1020 of file xfs_trans.c. Return address = 0xc01b4d15
Oct 25 14:54:18 donner kernel: Corruption of in-memory data detected. Shutting
down filesystem: loop(7,0)
With 0.98TB no errors occured except one time my machine run out of memory.
Kernel is 2.4.13-pre6-xfs-20011023 + preempt patch.
