Hi, The disk error handling of the recent xfs cvs kernel (20020323, 2.4.18) seems broken. I tested xfs with BOMB patch I previously posted to this list. After force shutdown by the bomb, the system was hanged and I could not enter KDB at my single CPU box. When I tested at 2.4.17 cvs kernel, it passed; the filesystem was just shutting down and I could umount it. -- Masano
