Hi,
For your information :
Once in a while I see the message below after I've just created a new XFS
filesystem, mount it and then start copying data to it.
It doesn't happen every time - if I should try to make a guess at the frequency
I'd say about 1 in 30.
What I do is this.
1. boot the server (an IBM x336) via the network
2. log in via ssh
3. load scsi modules
4. create raid1 of two disks
5. fdisk /dev/sda and create partitions
6. mkfs.xfs /dev/sda<some_partition>
7. mount -t xfs /dev/sda<some_partition> /mnt/mountpoint
8. ssh -x root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "tar --create --gzip --one-file-system
--file - / 2>/dev/null" | tar --extract --gzip --preserve-permissions
--numeric-owner --directory /mnt/mountpoint --file -
since I do the above via a remote ssh session to the net-booted server, I don't
usually notice
kernel output to the console. But recently I've started looking via dmesg in a
second ssh session and
I can say for sure that most of the time there's no problem, but when there is,
it is the same
"recursive locking" dump I get.
If more info is needed, just let me know.
