Hi Dave,
I'm very sorry for annoying you. Please excuse this.
You asked me to copy the exact commands from the terminal. I did that
despite the fact, that I replaced "cp /bin/* /data" with "cp something
on it". All other commands are 100% the same in exactly the given order
in the former mail.
Furthermore you asked me to give the output of xfs_printlog with and
without option -t. I gave that output in the last mail, too.
Please take my apologies and note the workflow I have tested:
>mount -t xfs /dev/sda1 /data
>cp /bin/sh /data
>sync
>umount /data
>xfs_printlog /dev/sda1
#no ERROR entry visible
>mount -t xfs /dev/sda1 /data
#re mounting works fine, no problems!,
#so I thought running a sync before the umount would solve my erroneous
log problem on ARM devices
# The following command chain trys to reproduce the error
>mount -t xfs /dev/sda1 /data
>cp /bin/* /data
>sync
Device or resource busy.
>sync
>umount /data
>xfs_printlog /dev/sda1
#includes an ERROR entry at the end, see last mail
The output of dmesg after trying to mount a partition on which I wrote
some files before,
I gave in the very first mail:
"
SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, large block/inode numbers, no
debug enabled
SGI XFS Quota Management subsystem
XFS mounting filesystem sda1
Starting XFS recovery on filesystem: sda1 (logdev: internal)
XFS: xlog_recover_process_data: bad clientid
XFS: log mount/recovery failed: error 5
XFS: log mount failed
"
My expectations:
- sync should never be mandatory before unmounting to keep the FS clean
(any FS)
- umount should never break the log of the FS
Facts:
Mounting the XFS-Parttition, writing some data on it and unmounting
results in an erroneous log which forces a xfs_repair -L on the next mount.
(This I do not expect either...)
I do not know which debug procedures are useful and would give you some
useful output. Sorry about this.
After summing up the content I gave in the mailchain, please let me
know, if solving this issue has any chance of success.
Thanks and kind regards,
Marcus
