Hi,
I use 2.4.18-xfs with lvm-tools-1.0.1rc4_iop10-fr2
lvm-base-1.2-fr1
I havw a 200GB lv. I had 2.4.16 running after fiddling with usb the
whole machine crashed, reboot, the fs was corrupt. I had to zerosize the
journal log, xfs_repair, everything in lost+found.
Reformating the fs didnt do the trick (ext3 or xfs) I got told when
mounting the empty fs, the superblock was not found. Ok I did another
xfs_repair, after I could reformat again and mount the empty xfs fs.
Put some data, after 10 hours I got this in kernel log:
Apr 2 18:07:33 dumbo Corruption of in-memory data detected. Shutting
down filesystem: lvm(58,1)
Apr 2 18:07:33 dumbo Please umount the filesystem, and rectify the
problem(s)
again the fs is corrupt. I searched google for this error and found
somthing in sgi's mailinglist archive. Too bad oss.sgi.com is down since
about 2 days :-(
thats why I ask here, anyone has an idea whats wrong here ? sofar I had
only the best experience with lvm and xfs! all my other volumes seem
intact....
Anyone got an Idea what I should do ?
sofar im waiting for oss.sgi.com to come back online to check what I can
find about this error my kernel throws...
thx alot for any help.
regards,
Christophe

Are you running on ide with write caching enabled? corruption after a
crash is possible in that configuration. Also the forced shutdown path
did used to corrupt the filesystem, so once you hit a forced shutdown
it is possible to end up with a zeroed superblock and lose your root
directory too. That is fixed in current code - which is difficult to get
right now. There are ftp mirrors, here is one:

oss is getting rebuilt from scratch - and I suspect, that since it was
scheduled to be relocated on Friday anyway, it will not be back until
after that. Please don't complain to me about it by the way!
A new kernel should help, at least the forced shutdown will not trample
on the filesystem.

im gonna kill myself! :-)
the 200gb volume was made of a 160gb and a 40 gb partition. I order for
the kernel to see the whole 160gb I had applied the ide patch to the
kernel, which I forgot to apply to 2.4.18!!
so now Im rebuilding 2.4.18-xfs with new ide driver, pretty sure
everything be back after reboot, I alrady had used the xfs patch from
below.
damn, Im stupid :-)
thx for your help anyways, you mentioning the patch made it click :-.)
regards,
Christophe

What's the maximum hard drive space a 2.4.18 kernel is able to see without
the IDE patch applied? Where did you get this IDE patch from?
Thanks for the info!
Greetings,
Holger

welcome to the club. I had to go fetch 400GB over the wire last
time I did that, and zapped the data because I thought there was
some other error.

it will be, at least it was with reiserfs.
