i'll try with 2.4.9 and with 2.4.9ac5 how do you think should i do it with LVM-1.0.1rc1 or rc2 i think i should try with rc1 to find whether it comes from the xfs kernel changes, as i'm currently using rc1 Andreas Dilger wrote: >On Sep 01, 2001 00:24 +0200, svetljo wrote: > >>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 >> > >It could just be lucky that JFS works, depending on access patterns. > >>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 >> > >Then it is definitely not anything to do with the filesystem itself >(although it may be with the XFS patch).
