Some progress the fallocate bug is not the only bug latest head with the fallocate correction still crash ( in read_blocks ) So i have restart bisection but at each stage i reinject the fallocate patch ( is it a corerct way to do this ?) Bisection is not very fast but for the moment (sometimes i need to rebot harsly and it kicks a rebuild of the raid array ) : git bisect start # bad: [2d534926205db9ffce4bbbde67cb9b2cee4b835c] Merge tag 'irqdomain-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6 git bisect bad 2d534926205db9ffce4bbbde67cb9b2cee4b835c # good: [c3b92c8787367a8bb53d57d9789b558f1295cc96] Linux 3.1 git bisect good c3b92c8787367a8bb53d57d9789b558f1295cc96 # good: [95211279c5ad00a317c98221d7e4365e02f20836] Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb) git bisect good 95211279c5ad00a317c98221d7e4365e02f20836 # good: [654443e20dfc0617231f28a07c96a979ee1a0239] Merge branch 'perf-uprobes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip git bisect good 654443e20dfc0617231f28a07c96a979ee1a0239 # bad: [f0a08fcb5972167e55faa330c4a24fbaa3328b1f] Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile git bisect bad f0a08fcb5972167e55faa330c4a24fbaa3328b1f # bad: [f5e7e844a571124ffc117d4696787d6afc4fc5ae] Merge tag 'for-linus-3.5-20120601' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd git bisect bad f5e7e844a571124ffc117d4696787d6afc4fc5ae Each bad has failed with the read_block OOPS ( so somewhat consistent for now ) Le 30/07/2012 20:30, Vincent ETIENNE a écrit : > > > On 30/07/2012 09:53, Joel Becker wrote: >> On Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 09:45:14AM +0200, Vincent ETIENNE wrote: >>> Le 30/07/2012 08:30, Joel Becker a écrit : >>>> On Sat, Jul 28, 2012 at 12:18:30AM +0200, Vincent ETIENNE wrote: >>>>> Hello >>>>> >>>>> Get this on first write made ( by deliver sending mail to inform of the >>>>> restart of services ) >>>>> Home partition (the one receiving the mail) is based on ocfs2 created >>>>> from drbd block device in primary/primary mode >>>>> These drbd devices are based on lvm. >>>>> >>>>> system is running linux-3.5.0, identical symptom with linux 3.3 and 3.2 >>>>> but working with linux 3.0 kernel >>>>> >>>>> reproduced on two machines ( so different hardware involved on this one >>>>> software md raid on SATA, on second one areca hardware raid card ) >>>>> but the 2 machines are the one sharing this partition ( so share the >>>>> same data ) >>>> Hmm.
