Reiserfs Corruption with 2.5.5-pre1

Reiserfs Corruption with 2.5.5-pre1

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 571 bytes --]

Hi,
after starting GNOME with 2.5.5-pre1 with reiserfs on the root partition I get several funny-named files in ~/.gnome/accels and I can't start some programms anymore... When I reboot into 2.4.17 again everything works right and this files are gone again
This only happens with any kernel since 2.5.4-pre* or so and it happens everytime I try to start GNOME under such kernel.
I haven't find this files in another place and situation but I don't think it's a GNOME bug, because it works fine with older kernels

If you need some more information or something ask me
Bye

Hm. I was not able to run 2.5.5-pre1 with reiserfs support without patch
attached at all.

Have you tried to run reiserfsck on your partition after 2.5.4-pre1
Run reiserfsck and never use 2.5.4-pre1 or earlier 2.5 kernels.
if that won't help, we are interested to hear.

Bye,
    Oleg

Ok...
reiserfsck --check said I have to do --rebuild-tree because of critical corruption (many "bad_leaf: block xxxxx has wrong order of items")...
after that I booted into 2.4.17. Everything works okay.
Then I booted 2.5.5-pre1 and the mysterious files are there again after starting GNOME. I've copied one file to another location but when I reboot into 2.4.17 the files and the copy are gone again...
If you need one or two file names or the content of them just ask (They begin with an "^")... then I'll handcopy them ;)
The format of the partition is 3.6 and another partition with 3.5 format had no errors... Maybe this helps

I could build 2.5.5-pre1 without your patch from the last mail but for this try I have build the kernel with it

these are 2.5.3 signs.

But GNOME is working, right?

I have a better approach.
Just recreate them (by running GNOME in 2.5.5-pre1?) and then tar them up ;)
Send the ersulting tar file to me.

So now problem only is that there are strange files after GNOME start, right?
Do these files disa[[ear after you quit GNOME?

I just found this patch is only needed on SMP ;)

Yes GNOME works in 2.4.17... in 2.5.5-pre1 it works two but I have some problems...

They don't disappear but I can't reproduce the behaviour anymore...
I've run reiserfsck --fix-fixable, it detects one error, fixes that and after reboot the files were gone in 2.4.17 AND 2.5.5-pre1
So the problem seems to be solved
Now I have another problem... If I start the gnome-terminal 9 of 10 times it hangs and bash doesn't start
I had this behaviour before the reiserfscks but I thought it has something to do with the files
2.4.17, again, runs without any problems
Maybe somebody can test if he can start gnome-terminal with 2.5.5-pre1

Where do these gnome-terminal hangs? (check ps axl output,
also sysrq-t may be of some help)

I don't know it anymore but it was something with wrong mtime or something... sorry
I've started 2.5.4-dj2 a few seconds ago and the files were created again... but this time I've tar them up. Please take a look at it
but the strangest thing was: the files didn't go away after rebooting into 2.4.17...

OK I'll try it but I think there's something you should know...
When I start the gnome-terminal from a panel launcher the window just pops up and exits then...
When I start the gnome-terminal from console the window pops up and nothing happens... no shell get loaded
But now I try to find out where it hangs or exits

Re: [reiserfs-list] Re: Reiserfs Corruption with 2.5.5-pre1

[system_lists]

(no Gnome here).

2.5.5-pre1 in a production server working here (home one with 2 domains).
1 raid and 2 spares hds with reiser.

All is going ok here. i got a halt (dont know the reason, no logs or any 
info on syslog or console) but after that (reboot and fsck the ext2 disk, 
the system one) ... all ok.

It likes stable
Sorry, i cannot check any with Gnome.
