Subject: Re: 2.6.37-rc3-git installed modules zero bytes long - only on root xfs
Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:54:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D6D32F3.3000305@blueyonder.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4D6870A9.7070405@blueyonder.co.uk>
The problem occurs on the systems with root on xfs, the boxes with ext4
have not been affected.
On the 2 affected boxes, 2.6.36-rc6-git6 - one had no problems and and
one several rebuilds and reinstalls of modules had to be done to get it
to work with the exception of one module.

Listing the module it says 0 bytes whereas before the reboot it was OK.
