Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 Severity: important
I'm using the NSLU2 device with Debian (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/): # uname -a Linux NSLU 2.6.18-4-ixp4xx #1 Thu Feb 22 14:00:55 UTC 2007 armv5tel GNU/Linux The problem: using a partition which has been generated on a x86 system using the filesystem XFS does not work on arm/NSLU2. Mounting the partition does not indicate any problems in the syslog, but access to the partition/files is definitely not possible: # ls -la /mnt/sdb2 total 4 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 76 Oct 13 00:09 / drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 76 Oct 13 00:09 / drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 76 Oct 13 00:09 / drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 76 Oct 13 00:09 / drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 76 Oct 13 00:09 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 7 19:46 ../ # Though the disk usage is displayed correct: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 773M 606M 128M 83% / tmpfs 15M 0 15M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 44K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 15M 0 15M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb2 271G 95G 176G 35% /mnt/sdb2 The XFS partition can be used without any problems on the x86 system, there's no data loss. XFS itself is ok on arm/NSLU2 if the partition has been generated on the arm platform using mkfs.xfs. I played around with xfs_repair, xfs_db, xfs_check,... tons of error messages are displayed though the partition itself is ok - it's just that there seem to be serious problems on the arm platform. The problem is reproducable, just run something like # mkfs.xfs -d file,name=/file,size=20m on a x86 system and try to mount the file on arm/NSLU2 then. If you need any further information, debugging output,... please let me know. regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
