reservation ran out?

reservation ran out?

[Gavin Peters]

I just created bug 849, about a reservation problem I'm seeing
on my x86_64 system on ubuntu jaunty (2.6.28-15-generic).

http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=849

Am I doin' something wrong, or is this a real problem?

Sounds like a real problem.

Any reproducible testcase?

Alas, no; I was running mythtv, and my disk was somewhat fragmented.

root@mythmaker:~# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/sda7
actual 17379, ideal 98, fragmentation factor 99.44%
root@mythmaker:~# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/sdb1
actual 4268, ideal 53, fragmentation factor 98.76%

The disk that was having the trouble was sda7, my sdb1 was fine.  

Mythtv fragments disks so badly by appending to two, or three files,
simultaniously and fsyncing on them a lot.  Perhaps some hacking at
that will give a reproduction, I'll see if I can take the time and do
that.

I've since defragmented both disks though; and I've set a large
allocsize (512m) to prevent future fragmentation.  We'll see if I get
another crash.
