Subject: xfs_repair 3.1.4/3.1.5: fatal error -- couldn't malloc dir2 buffer data
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2011 14:17:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110806121728.GA20341@schmorp.de> (raw)

When trying to xfs_repair a 15GB image file, I get this:

Phase 3 - for each AG...
        - scan and clear agi unlinked lists...
        - process known inodes and perform inode discovery...

fatal error -- couldn't malloc dir2 buffer data

this is 3.1.5 - 3.1.4 simply segfaults. using ltrace shows this as
last call to malloc:

   malloc(18446744073708732928)                                  = NULL

I think thats a bit unreasonable of xfs_repair :)
