I'm debugging a bizarro set of kernel bugs and I think XFS may have
something to do with it.
I've got a system with all XFS on it. /dev/hda1 is a primary partition
200MB. /dev/hda2 is an extendo partition to the end of the disk.
/dev/hda5 /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7 and /dev/hda8 are all logical partitions
in /dev/hda2.
/dev/hda7 is swapper.
So I can go into /dev/hda8 and I can do an "echo foobar >ian; cat ian"
and it shows up. If I do a sync and then "cat ian" nothing.
The same thing is true for hda6. hda5 and hda1 behave like normal.
Any ideas what this could be. My gut is the partition table but that
looks okay to me. I'm getting beat up by mgmt on this so I'm just
begging for any ideas that anyone might have..
thanks,
Ian
