Subject: xlog_space_left: head behind tail
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:48:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120223104853.GA24638@quack.suse.cz> (raw)

  Hello,

  when I run:
while true; do ~/tests/xfstests-dev/ltp/fsstress -d /mnt -n 10000 -p 4; done

and in parallel

while true; do ./fsfreeze /mnt; sync; ./fsfreeze -u /mnt; sleep 3; done

where fsfreeze is a small utility freezing and unfreezing filesystem. I get
warnings like:

They usually start to appear like 20 minutes after starting the tests and
when they start to appear they happen every couple of seconds (as you can
see from the timestamps). Is it a real problem or just annoyance?
