I have been having an acl/attr related problem with xfs
linux 2.4.9+
patch-2.4.9-xfs-2001-08-19.bz2
I am not exactly sure how it arose. I havent been using acls, and in fact my
kernel was not compiled with acl support (and I am not sure it ever has been).
I was happily using xfs on one partition that I use for video streaming,
until one day I tried to write to it and the machine hung solid. No syslog
message on the serial console, nothing at all. This behaviour was consistent.
It also refused to let me create directories, saying permission denied, which
is why I suspected acls, and then discovered that even doing lsattr on the
partition would die the same way. xfs_check reported no errors, nor did the
SMART on the drive. I recompiled the kernel with acl support,
and now lsattr gives
lsattr: Invalid argument While reading flags on /video/.
------------ /video/..
lsattr: Invalid argument While reading flags on /video/lost+found
lsattr: Invalid argument While reading flags on /video/left-raw
lsattr: Invalid argument While reading flags on /video/right-raw
------------ /video/images
------------ /video/text
Any idea what is going on?
