I've bisected this issue to the following commit: commit cca9f93a52d2ead50b5da59ca83d5f469ee4be5f Author: Dave Chinner<dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 27 16:04:49 2013 +1000 xfs: don't do IO when creating an new inode Reverting this commit on top of the Linus tree "solves" all problems for me. IOW I no longer loose my KDE and LibreOffice config files during a crash. Log recovery now works fine and xfs_repair shows no issues. So users of 3.11.0-rc1 beware. Only run this version if you have up-to-date backups handy.
I reviewed the above patch and liked it but, I think I recreated the above mentioned problem with a simple script:
cp /root/.bash_history /root/.lesshst /root/.pwclientrc /root/.viminfo /root/.bash_profile /root/.lesshst.YCJCDz /root/.quiltrc /somexfsdir
sync echo 'c' > /proc/sysrq-trigger .... reboot, remount ... cd /somexfsdir # ls -la ls: cannot access .bash_history: No such file or directory ls: cannot access .lesshst: No such file or directory ls: cannot access .pwclientrc: No such file or directory ls: cannot access .viminfo: No such file or directory ls: cannot access .bash_profile: No such file or directory ls: cannot access .lesshst.YCJCDz: No such file or directory ls: cannot access .quiltrc: No such file or directory total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 131 Jul 19 15:32 . drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 Jul 19 15:35 .. ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .bash_history ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .bash_profile ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .lesshst ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .lesshst.YCJCDz ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .pwclientrc ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .quiltrc ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .viminfo # cat .bash_history cat: .bash_history: No such file or directory xfs_db> inode 131 xfs_db> p core.magic = 0x494e core.mode = 0 core.version = 2 core.format = 2 (extents) core.nlinkv2 = 0 core.onlink = 0 core.projid_lo = 0 core.projid_hi = 0 core.uid = 0 core.gid = 0 core.flushiter = 1 core.atime.sec = Fri Jul 19 15:26:13 2013 core.atime.nsec = 990813003 core.mtime.sec = Fri Jul 19 15:26:13 2013 core.mtime.nsec = 990813003 core.ctime.sec = Fri Jul 19 15:30:34 2013 core.ctime.nsec = 822788719 core.size = 0 core.nblocks = 0 core.extsize = 0 core.nextents = 0 core.naextents = 0 core.forkoff = 0 core.aformat = 2 (extents) core.dmevmask = 0 core.dmstate = 0 core.newrtbm = 0 core.prealloc = 0 core.realtime = 0 core.immutable = 0 core.append = 0 core.sync = 0 core.noatime = 0 core.nodump = 0 core.rtinherit = 0 core.projinherit = 0 core.nosymlinks = 0 core.extsz = 0 core.extszinherit = 0 core.nodefrag = 0 core.filestream = 0 core.gen = 3707503345 next_unlinked = null u = (empty) revert the above commit and the problem goes away.
