I'm running a 2.4.18 kernel with XFS 1.1 and the pre-emptible kernel
patch. If I create an XFS filesystem on /var, any process I run on the
machine runs ok (as far as I can tell), but gives a
<process> exited with preempt_count x
error on exit (where x > 1).
Some digging at google turned up a suggestion that the XFS
developers were aware of the problem, and that it had been fixed in
CVS (this some time in early April), although nothing shows up in a
search of this mailing list.
I'd rather not try the current CVS version of XFS (don't trust
pre-release kernels!), but I'm curious to see if it's been fixed (and
I can wait till the official 2.4.19 kernel release and XFS patches).
Is it better now?
.....Ron
