I'm running an xfs patched 2.4.8 kernel on an x86 platform and am having
repeatable problems with the mknod command on an xfs partition. Here's
an example :
# mknod test c 1 2
# sync
# sync
# sync
# ls -al test
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 2 Dec 14 14:57 test
I then reset the system by cycling power. Upon reboot :
# ls -al test
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 0, 0 Dec 14 2001 test
If I do a "clean" reboot and unmount the partition normally, I do not
get this behavior. Is this a known issue?
No. You synced the file so it _should_ be on disk. This is very weird. I
know of files with a size but NULL characters inside but this one is new.
Needs looking into.

I use the last kind.
