Initio miles tests :-(

Initio miles tests :-(

[laures]

OK so far it's not really good...

Let's begin by what's working...

mke2fs /dev/disk-on-miles is ok
fsck too

mount -t hfs
mount -t ext2 as well

cp a 2M file (kernel) ok, not corrupted when cp back to mesh (gzip'ed
and de-gzip'ed succesfully)

umount ok after cping this small file.


Now what doesn't work...

pdisk /dev/disk-on-miles destroy the partition map if re-written, even
just renaming a partition

mke2fs -c gives a kernel panic ("kernel stack overflow")

cp /usr/src/linux/* /mnt/disk-on miles/ goes ok few... and then I got
this kind of lines (several times):
scsi: aborting command due to timeout: pid 20175, scsi1, channel 0,
id5, lun0, Write (6) 04 9C 45 80 00
SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0
the kernel "panics" soon after

I got his behaviour also when cping 10 megs of files (/boot/*) and
issuing umount when done.

Finally hdparm -Tt gives a kernel panic, or smth just under

Each time the ext2 partition is completely screwed, I must reformat to
continue tests, the hfs is screwed once over 2.
I think I will go on with a ramdisk !

So I guess the patch wasn't enough...

Any way of investigation someone ?

Can you do all the stress testing if you don't pdisk the drive?  Also can
you go:
pdisk /dev/blank-inito-disk
... create partitions ...
stress testing
?

What I did: partitionned the disk under MacOs, two hfs, the second
mke2fsck'ed in linux after insertion of the module.
That's basically what I'm always doing, see below why.

This is not possible since pdisk reports a incredible number of 512
bytes block for a 256M disk (the test drive), with a total free space
of 126G!!!
Here pdisk fail at creating the partition map, and at modifying it
sjightly.
I wish I could show you the output of pdisk, is it possible to redirect
output on a file, still setting the keyborad as input ?

Thx for your help :-)

pdisk /dev/blah >log 2>&1
then type blindly.
