Subject: [BUG] null-pointer deref (perhaps reiserfs3)
Date: Sun, 05 Dec 2004 23:31:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cp02a6$57j$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

Hi,

on a machine that i can only reach via SSH at the moment, i got a 
null-pointer dereference (see below). The machine runs kernel 2.6.9 
without any additional patches.

It happened, while i was doing a "make install". A command within the 
"installkernel"-script segfaulted. It seems that only the filesystem 
mounted to /boot is affected. Any access to that FS blocks.

Is there any way to recover the situation remotely? I'm thinking about 
unmounting /boot, and running fsck.reiserfs, but i cannot umount the FS, 
since the device is still in use.
