Hi,
I recently installed RedHat 7.2 using the test installer ISO
sgi-image-i386-Nov04-01.iso from oss.sgi.com and everything
went without a hitch except GRUB didn't seem to work but that
may just be pilot error since I've never used it before. GRUB
seemed to install OK and it booted into the GRUB prompt but
at that point didn't seem to want to recognize the partittions
(sorry I didn't write down the messages). I just booted a off
the CD and installed lilo.
After the install I noticed one oddity that appears to be harmless
but I thought I post it just in case it is not. I NFS mounted
one of the Linux machines disks onto an SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5.13m
and ran an xfsrestore on the IRIX machine onto the NFS mounted
Linux disk. At the start of the xfsrestore I get the following
message in syslog (on the IRIX host):
Nov 8 07:08:23 4A:irixhost unix: WARNING: nfs3_fid: file handle larger than
file ID data
area
I tried this a few times and it seems to log this message once or
twice right at the start of the xfsrestore session and that's it,
it doesn't log the message during the rest of the xfsrestore session.
I have also seen this message a couple times, I can't associate it
with anything at this point other than it appears to happen when
working on files on the NFS mounted Linux xfs partition:
Nov 8 07:33:05 4A:irixhost unix: |$(0x141)WARNING: do_pdflush: error bp->b_vp
0x4004a0e
buffer
As I said, it doesn't appear to cause any problems it's just a
little disturbing.
The Linux machine is a two processor AMD 1.2GHz ASL Marquis C120-A
with 1GB of RAM and two 80GB seagate IDE disks. All partitions on
the Linux machine are XFS. Let me know if you need any more information.
