Hi, (2.6.20-rc4, x86_64 1-proc on SMP kernel, 1 GB RAM) I'm running fsx-linux (akpm ext3-tools version) on an ext3 fs with data=journal and fs blocksize=2048. I've been trying to get some kind of kernel messages from it but I can't get any debug IO done successfully. It has hung on me 3 times in a row today. I'm using this command: fsx-linux -l 100M -N 50000 -S 0 fsxtestfile This is run in a new partition on a IDE drive (/dev/hda7, using legacy IDE drivers). Any suggestions for debug output? I can see SysRq output on-screen (sometimes) but it doesn't make it to my serial console. Any patches to test? :) Thanks, --- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
