Re: kernel BUG at filemap.c:843!

["James Lee" <jlee@canada.com>]

Hi,

I'm also having the exactly same problem.
Tested with 2.4.19-xfs(checked out from SGI's CVS on Aug 10) on Redhat 7.2.
Kernel and userland tools are compiled with gcc 2.91.66
The following is the result of some tests:

scsidisks -> xfs: OK
scsidisks -> raid5 -> xfs: OK
scsidisks -> lvm -> xfs: OK
scsidisks -> raid0 -> lvm -> xfs: OK
scsidisks -> raid1 -> lvm -> xfs: OK
scsidisks -> raid5 -> lvm -> xfs: kernel BUG at filemap.c:843!

This problem is always reproducible with the following shell script:

        #!/bin/sh
        mkraid /dev/md0
        vgcreate VolumeGroup /dev/md0
        lvcreate -L1G -nTestVolume VolumeGroup
        mkfs.xfs -f -d size=32m /dev/VolumeGroup/TestVolume
        mount -t xfs /dev/VolumeGroup/TestVolume
/mnt -onoatime,nodiratime,usrquota,grpquota

Whenever I run the above script, mount command always generates kernel oops.
But, if I insert some delay as of the following, then mount goes well:


        #!/bin/sh
        mkraid /dev/md0
        vgcreate VolumeGroup /dev/md0
        lvcreate -L1G -nTestVolume VolumeGroup
        mkfs.xfs -f -d size=32m /dev/VolumeGroup/TestVolume
        sleep 1
        mount -t xfs /dev/VolumeGroup/TestVolume
/mnt -onoatime,nodiratime,usrquota,grpquota
