So far I’ve been able to run the copy-files script for about 24 hrs without failure. I’m not sure if this is because all these features are turned on and it has slowed something down (so it takes longer to reproduce), or if the debugging code is changing the behavior. I’m not sure if this backtrace is valid, so I’m attaching an annotated objdump of my xfs module. --chris j arges http://old.nabble.com/file/p33970511/xfs_objdump_3.0.txt.tar.bz2 xfs_objdump_3.0.txt.tar.bz2 -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Still-seeing-hangs-in-xlog_grant_log_space-tp33732886p33970511.html Sent from the Xfs - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
