I am not on the XFS list (and wil not subscribe), so it would be kind of
you to send me a cc when you figured out the problem or need further

Detailed steps on how to reproduce this problem would be most helpful;
I'm not certain what steps you took leading up to your problem.
Filing this information in a Bugzilla bug would also be very helpful, if
possible. http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/
Thanks,

1. Installed SUSE 9
2. Created encrypted Raid 5 on 8 IDE disks a 160 GB on 2 IDE Controllers
3. mounted the file system, copied a file on it
4. rebooted the system
5. trying to mount the file system --> error above.
I figured out now that - for whatever reason - the blowfish module was
not loaded, so I guess that
a) XFS got an encrypted stream instead of the decrypted data
b) maybe the controllers got mixed up so they got junk data as well.
I guess XFS got some sort of totally junk data and didn't handle it
proberly somehow.
He seems to have scanned for someting for approx. 20 seconds before he
mentioned the error.
In fact, the first - say - 5 times I tried to mount the drive he didn't
give the error; but after that the error was exactly reproducable.
I formatted the array with ext3 now so I'm sorry I cannot run any
further tests as the array is already used in production.
Sorry for the not very detailed problem description.
Probably you can simply catch such errors so that XFS doen't throw an
error in the mentioned c file with a dump, which looks quite ... well,
say ... scary ;)
I'm a quit short in time now, so as I don't have a bugzilla account feel
free to put my mails in there if you want.
It's not urgent for me as I won't use XFS for now.

Klaus
