--- Comment #22 from Robert Schweikert
Here is some more evidence that XFS is in play. When I had trouble with the machine I dumped (dd) the partition containing all data onto an external drive. Now when I try to restore the data in some directories I get read errors (not unexpected). When those read errors occur I get the following trace in the kernel log.
Apr 19 12:05:14 triumph kernel: [ 4132.476952] XFS internal error XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO at line 4653 of file /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12/linux-2.6.31/fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c. XFS driver complains that the filesystem is corrupted (extent tree block
(In reply to comment #18) pointers are bogus). Given that in the tainted kernel something is scribbling over your memory, it could be caused by that.
So could you just install openSUSE 11.2 anew on the problematic desktop and avoid installing any proprietary video card driver - maybe installing a system without X Windows would be the best and see whether the corruption still happens?
Installed openSUSE 11.2 again, this time I formatted the disk with ext4, we'll see how that works. Will report back. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
