- XFS 1.0 / linux 2.4.2
- CompactFlash media
- power failures generated during testing
Garbage pattern found throughout the filesystem, in
data blocks, log, etc. 8937 occurances in one 128MB
partition, 8895 in another 128MB partition.
00 73 00 fa 00 63 00 c2 00 73 00 fa 00 63 00 d2
always found at an offset of 0x140 from a sector
boundary.
XFS replays the log after power failure, attempts to
complete an interrupted inode operation, and gets
bogus values for the ilf_blkno and ilf_len and
ilf_boffset - oopses due to a NULL pointer.
xfs_logprint also reports errors. The filesystem is
not mountable.
As I have to support this older version of XFS in my
product, I'd like to know if this is a known issue in
XFS 1.0 and if so whether an update to 1.1 might fix
it. It is possible that this is due to power-fail
problems in the CF card, but 8900 occurrances sounds
awfully high...
