Re: XFS - issues with writes using sync

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I tried with the same test case - just removed 'sync' command from the script(please check script below) to check the behaviour.
 
Please find the logs:
#> ./createsetup.sh

I really doubt about the stability of 2.6.35.9, it is not passing our basic tests. Checking few more things, before deciding about the patches which got introduced between 2.6.34 ~ 2.6.35.9(around 102).
 
Thanks,

Hi,
 
I will try to find out the cause for this.
Meanwhile, just a small request/suggestion - in the past this type of testcases have helped us in finding many problems in XFS.
Can something like this be added to xfstests? This might help.

Thanks,
Amit Sahrawat

You have a known good version, a known bad version and a
reproducable test case. i.e. everything you need to run a git bisect
and find the commit introduced the regression. Can you do this and
tell us what that commit is?

Cheers,

Dave.
