Sorry, can't test this server anymore. I've since converted its filesystems to
ext3. That seems to be more reliable on this hardware. When this problem last
occurred, the system had been running approximately 3 weeks since the last
occurrence. In an attempt to catch corruptions earlier, I had been unmounting
it's filesystems weekly and running xfs_check on them. No errors were ever
reported. This particular problem would surface out of the blue with no
irregular behaviour apparent.
I've got a dhcp, dns, squid proxy server still using XFS and it's rock solid.
It's a P3 based setup, however. Perhaps there's a strange interaction taking
place on Athlon based setups?
Since converting the filesystems to ext3, the box has been up with no problem to
report. When I was experiencing the problems on this box, and xfs_check
afterward always showed minimal corruption. Most (>90%) of the time, the
xfs_repair process would junk the root inode, but recovery was easy. A bit
scary, to be sure.
