Hi,
I'm having some problems with /var on my machine. The machine itself is
rather unstable and hangs every few days, but I don't think that is
XFS-related.
What does concern XFS is the data corruption I experience after such a
hard lockup (Alt+SysRq+B won't reboot the box, no HDD activity, etc).
/var has had at least some corruption for the past week or so which I
haven't had chance to fix. I took the opportunity just now after the
latest hang (which has hosed /home). I'll post a seperate message about
the /home problem singe it seems to be a seperate issue.
xfs_repair on /var appeared to fix at least some things, but there were
clearly still errors. I re-ran xfs_repair and got this output:
http://rhowe.sfarc.net/xfs_repair_var.txt.gz
The output appears identical no matter how many times I run xfs_repair.
I'm using XFS from CVS, sometime around the 19th Dec (that is the date
of compilation, and I update just before I compile). It's based on
2.4.20. Is this too old to be of use as a bug report? I am able and
willing to build a more up to date release of XFS if need be.
xfs_repair is from the Debian (unstable) package, and reports its
version as 2.3.11
I can mount /var, but all those xfs_repair errors make me rather
suspicious about using it.
Most errors appear to be centred around one large (700Mbish) file, which
I don't mind losing.
