XFS internal error xfs_da_do_buf(1) at line 1992 of file fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c

[Amit Sahrawat]

Hi Eric,

Can this issue be related to some timing issue/synchronization with disk?
Test case is something like this..

I create thousands of files... (simply keep touching to create '0' bytes
files from a shell script) and in between I do Ctrl + C, to stop.
Then, I issue command to remove files (rm -rf *) and crash appears.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit Sahrawat
