Well all I do is for getting kdb output is to use a serial console and another computer - then cut and past then send ;-). It is very interesting that devfs is referenced - there was a LVM memory corruption problem and a patch for LVM/devfs - it can be found here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=101031443221058&w=2 - From my experience it seems that LVM 1.0.1rc4(ish) is way more robust than the updated LVM 1.0.1 or even CVS LVM 1.0.1 yesterday. However, not everything works as expected with either. You can find a results table for a few tests I have conducted here: (of course YMMV) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-lvm&m=100994364215110&w=2 I think you would be very interested in the discussions and activity that has been occuring on the linux-xfs & linux-lvm lists at the moment regarding XFS and LVM. If you are seeing problems I would be very interested in finding out how your problems differ from mine. - -- Adrian Head (Public Key available on request.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8OkHO8ZJI8OvSkAcRAsHkAJ9OlEWOQMxiXXsJ0OzsllI7icT8pQCeLfM2 95t821X+y25nYdf3WCDRg9k= =rjIv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
