Mmmh, interesting.
Unfortunately, that's not it, the machine doens't have any users, and I
ssh'ed in as root
gargamel:~# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
gargamel:~# mke2fs /dev/BootMylexLVM/var
mke2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
262144 inodes, 524288 blocks
26214 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
16 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912
mke2fs: Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in short write zeroing block 524280 at end of filesystem
Since I suspected the 2G file limit (although it didn't make any sense),
I've made sure I have a recent libc.
gargamel:~# ldd /sbin/mke2fs
libext2fs.so.2 => /lib/libext2fs.so.2 (0x49874000)
libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x49888000)
libe2p.so.2 => /lib/libe2p.so.2 (0x4988b000)
libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x49890000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x49893000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x49858000)
gargamel:~# l /lib/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 11 09:21 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.5.so*
Is the bug at mke2fs time, or before that, when the vg/lvs are created?
Do I want to switch e2fsprogs (I already have 1.25), libcs, lvm tools, or
kernels?
Thanks,
Marc
