From: Dave Chinner<dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> A long time ago in a galaxy far away.... .. the was a commit made to fix some ilinux specific "fragmented buffer" log recovery problem: http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=archive/xfs-import.git;a=commitdiff;h=b29c0bece51da72fb3ff3b61391a391ea54e1603 That problem occurred when a contiguous dirty region of a buffer was split across across two pages of an unmapped buffer. It's been a long time since that has been done in XFS, and the changes to log the entire inode buffers for CRC enabled filesystems has re-introduced that corner case. And, of course, it turns out that the above commit didn't actually fix anything - it just ensured that log recovery is guaranteed to fail when this situation occurs. And now for the gory details.
... Thanks for the great walk through of the problem. Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@xxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
