I'd strace the segfaulting app and/or get a core file out of it, point gdb at it, and get a backtrace to see what went wrong from the app's point of view.

Hello, all. I recently installed a new server, with XFS, kernel 2.6.6, on a 3Ware 9500 controller (using the 3Ware stand-alone driver). When I attempt to do an updatedb, it gets about 200 files in (shown by watching strace), and segfaults. When I do a find from root, it dies -- in the same place -- with "find: ./.. changed during execution of find". If I delete the file that they are dying on, they then die on a different file. Someone suggested it might have something to do with de-referencing symlinks, so, for the hell of it, I tried "find -follow", and it worked... even though none of the files that were being looked at were symlinks.

Is it possible this is an FS issue, or...?

Aside from this odd behavior, everything else on the system (*knocks wood*) appears to be fine.

Thanks!
