Package: xfsprogs Version: 2.8.18 Severity: important My xfs root filesystem becaome corrupt so I had to fix it. Glossing over a lot of tedious details I tried to do so (on a 2.6.19 kernel) and found that xfs_repair just gave a fatal error: fatal error -- status from pthread_attr_setstacksize: 22
Asking around I found that this is fixed in xfsprogs 2.8.19. That's not in debian, so I tried the relevant patch on 2.8.18 version and (after fixing a build problem (see my other bug report)) it built and worked fine, spending several hours repairing my filesystem, which it did successfully. So I think it's safe to say that the patch described in this thread: http://www.linux.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00293.html should be included, as otherwise xfs_repair 2.8.18 is useless on kernel 2.6.11 or later (i.e. the one in etch). i.e. simply delete the code for making the stack 4 times as big. in thread_init in xfs_repair/threads.c This same patch was included in 2.8.19. I don't know if anything else relevant was changed in that version, but this simple fix worked for me, and it doesn't work at all without it. I can provide more details if needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
