I am also having corruption problems... I'm using the 2.4.14 kernel with the xfs patch on a single processor machine... It only happens when I've subjected the filesystem to fairly high IO... Here's what I'm getting in /var/log/messages: Mar 12 13:59:06 renner_linux kernel: xfs_force_shutdown(loop(7,0),0x8) called from line 1020 of file xfs_trans.c. Return address = 0xc01a1073 Mar 12 13:59:06 renner_linux kernel: Corruption of in-memory data detected. Shutting down filesystem: loop(7,0) Mar 12 13:59:06 renner_linux kernel: Please umount the filesystem, and rectify the problem(s) And, what the xfs faq has to say about it... http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#forceshutdown Herbert, Are you getting this same error?
