Hi,
After building a couple of clusters using xfs on the shared storage device
(and using md and lvm on top of that), I'm getting this error now which hard
crashes my machines:
do_IRQ: stack overflow: 284
[<c01078a2>] do_IRQ+0x44/0x130
I'm using Scientific Linux 4.2 (RHEL4 Update 2) with a SL Contrib kernel of:
kernel-smp-2.6.9-11.EL.XFS
which has xfs support. I also use the xfsprogs rpm supplied by Dag Wieers. I
run on an x86 platform.
After googling quite a bit, it seems that RH have caused an issue with their
RHEL4 release by only enabling a 4k stack, where it seems that XFS requires an
8k stack?
I'd really like to know how to fix this problem as I just finished months of
works building a couple of SL4 clustered environments using XFS, and now with
this problem am looking at the unpleasant alternative of getting rid of the
XFS filesystems and changing them to ext3, which will take me approximately
half a day of work per cluster for the added benefit of a slower filesystem.
I just visited the SGI site to see if there's any hints to fixes of this
problem there, which is where I got this email address from.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Michael.
