dm-cache fs corruption

[Vladimir Smolensky <arizal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've been testing dm-cache for use with static web content.

It appears that, when using big cache ~3TB(+20TB origin dev) dm-cache device corrupts the filesystem after block eviction starts to happen.

If I set smaller cache size - single 480GB ssd(again with 20TB origin dev), the dm-cache dev works just fine.

dmesg error:

XFS (dm-0): Corruption detected. Unmount and run xfs_repair
XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error: block 0x3d4f534e0 ("xfs_trans_read_buf_map") error 117 numblks 16
XFS (dm-0): xfs_imap_to_bp: xfs_trans_read_buf() returned error 117.
XFS (dm-0): Corruption detected. Unmount and run xfs_repair
XFS (dm-0): Corruption detected. Unmount and run xfs_repair

ext4 also got broken.

Tested with 3.10.11-gentoo, fedora 19- kernel 3.11.something, xfs, ext4, writeback and writethrough modes.

regards,

Vladimir Smolensky
