This is on a ubuntu 10.10 64bit mythtv system. root@htpc:~# df -h -l -T --total -t xfs Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 xfs 144G 118G 26G 82% /iso /dev/sdb1 xfs 1.9T 1.4T 433G 77% /pvr /dev/sdc1 xfs 1.9T 226G 1.6T 13% /pvs total - 3.8T 1.8T 2.1T 46% I had severe fragmentation on /dev/sdb1 which was resolved by running xfs_fsr about 10 times. Subsequently I have added /dev/sdc1. The problem occurs when I wrote a script to be run with cron, reorganize the xfs partitions and write a report in /var/log and write a line or two in syslog. The output of "xfs_fsr -v -t $time_for_run -f $left_off -m $used_mtab" when run as cron either goes to syslog instead of stdout or corrupts the log file. When run from a login terminal, it behaves as expected. A thread at unix.com forum have not resulted in explaining this behavior. http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/160979-different-redirection-behavior-bash-linux-when-run-under-cron-vice-login.html#post302529475 Initially I thought it was some error on my part but I cannot rule out some problem with xfs_fsr. "xfs_db -r -c frag $device_file_path 2>&1" run both before and after xfs_fsr both behave as expected when run by cron or from a login session. Anybody have any suggestions? âlarry _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
