Hi All
I've made some observations concerning the indy multiple disk problem:
The setup:
Root FS on /dev/sda1, /local on /dev/sdb3, and some NFS mounted systems.
Kernel 2.4.2 (March 30 CVS).
Doing this:
I mke2fs-ed the sdb3 partition, mounted it at /local, and copied
a tree from an NFS filesystem to /local. No other activity on the system.
I used tar | (cd;tar) for the copy.
What happened:
I tried to 'su' in another window on the machine, and it responded
with a segfault. Several other programs reacted with segfaults or
bus errors.
I stopped the copy, synced, and fsck-ed (-n) the local partitions.
No problems on the /local partition, but the root was badly corrupted.
Hey! That's strange, I didn't do anything on that partition!
Could it be that there is some bug in the buffer layer, that is
corrupting the buffers belonging to another FS?
Any hints?
I hope that I get the system up again tomorrow when I get to the office :(
