Hello, since today I have quite a big problem and I'd like to get some opinions from experts on how to proceed in solving the problem. The Problem: Since today mounting and unmounting of any XFS partition on my system takes (depending on size of partition) up to 15 minutes and more. The system in its current configuration was working fine for over 6 months and I did not change anything recently with respect of upgrades. I have already tried booting a Linux-LiveCD and mounting the XFS partitions in that system: same result. Also I have run xfs_check and xfs_repair -n on the partitions on the RAID1 configuration: mounting still takes a lot of time (15 mins +). The System: Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit) AMD Phenom 9600 Asus M3A32-MVP DELUXE with Marvel Raid Controller 1x 80GB HDD with ext3 (/boot) and xfs (/) 2x 1TB HDD in RAID1 configuration (xfs) And now to my question: Could my problem be a software related problem (Linux, XFS, something else) or should I consider hardware problems? Thanks for your time Andi _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
