Hi All I've made some observations concerning the indy multiple disk problem: The setup: Root FS on /dev/sda1, /local on /dev/sdb3, and some NFS mounted systems. Kernel 2.4.2 (March 30 CVS). Doing this: I mke2fs-ed the sdb3 partition, mounted it at /local, and copied a tree from an NFS filesystem to /local. No other activity on the system. I used tar | (cd;tar) for the copy. What happened: I tried to 'su' in another window on the machine, and it responded with a segfault. Several other programs reacted with segfaults or bus errors. I stopped the copy, synced, and fsck-ed (-n) the local partitions. No problems on the /local partition, but the root was badly corrupted. Hey! That's strange, I didn't do anything on that partition! Could it be that there is some bug in the buffer layer, that is corrupting the buffers belonging to another FS? Any hints? I hope that I get the system up again tomorrow when I get to the office :( -- Karel van Houten ---------------------------------------------------------- The box said "Requires Windows 95 or better."
