hi it works with IMB's JFS when i try mkfs -t reiserfs -f /dev/myData/SRC it segfaults : [root@svetljo mnt]# mkfs -t reiserfs -f /dev/myData/SRC mkreiserfs, 2001 - reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j =================================================================== LEAF NODE (8211) contains level=1, nr_items=2, free_space=3932 rdkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |###|type|ilen|f/sp| loc|fmt|fsck| key | | | | |e/cn| | |need| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Segmentation fault isn't that a bit strange that reiserfs and xfs doesn't handle it, but jfs does and the one with ext2 : [root@svetljo mnt]# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/myData/SRC mke2fs 1.22, 22-Jun-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 786432 inodes, 1572864 blocks 78643 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 48 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736 Writing inode tables: Segmentation fault i realy don't like that Andreas Dilger wrote: >On Aug 31, 2001 20:37 +0200, svetljo wrote: > >>>>EIP; e29c0266 <[linear]linear_make_request+36/f0> <===== >>>> >>Trace; c023fa12 <__make_request+412/6d0> >>Trace; c0278dcd <md_make_request+4d/80> >>Trace; c027fa0f <lvm_make_request_fn+f/20> >>Trace; c023fd89 <generic_make_request+b9/120> >> > >OK, so the oops is inside the RAID layer, but it may be that it is >being fed bogus data from a higher layer.
