Hi! I was making another run with xfstests, using smaller partitions so I could use the larger ones for other tests, and I got a mild oops/crash of some sort. This applies only to small partitions, first hit using 480MB partitions. Also, CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set here, but I haven't tested the non-debug case lately. This has been repeatable across various 3.8/3.9 kernels used recently. PC in this test is my Pentium III boat anchor, 512 MB RAM, 768 MB swap, no VGA/console, using serial and ssh to communicate. Output was taken from the remote syslog facility and trimmed down. This is a crash report. No fix is requested. Let me know if this needs to go somewhere else in the Linux development world as well. Though labelled as _RTDEV partitions, /dev/sdb2 was my $TEST_DEV, and /test/sdb5 was my $SCRATCH_DEV, and none of the external options were in play: [From `gdisk -l /dev/sdb`] Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 2 17639424 18687999 512.0 MiB 8300 gSTestRTDev 5 18950144 19999694 512.5 MiB 8300 gSScrRTDev Below is my oops, which was soft in nature, and my accidental typing of `telinit 0` instead of `telinit 1` stopped things gently. All is well. Don't try too hard...no bisecting unless you really want to do so...this has never happened in my production environment...and thanks again!
