The kernel crashed. Christoph Hellwig (XFS dev) wrote back today (2010-Jun-16 11:41): ************** Try backporting commit 070ecdca54dde9577d2697088e74e45568f48efb "xfs: skip writeback from reclaim context", that should get rid of places calling into ->writepage with already deep stack usage. ************** As this is a Novell/openSUSE kernel, could you please provide the fix? Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. have XFS filesystem 2. Once I did: I just rsynced from another server to this one, the filesystem is nearly full, I was in the process of vgextend (done), lvextend (done) and just wanted to call xfs_growfs but before I could press enter the system was gone. It's a VM within XenServer, if that matters. 3. Today it crashed while running rsync from a PC to that server, while in the process of syncing the file list. Actual Results: kernel crash Expected Results: should not crash :-) -- 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.
