Sorry, I lost the original to reply to, but stumbled on this thread looking for something else. :) Anyway, from the assertion: Assertion failed: (char *)sfep - (char *)sfp == dp->i_d.di_size, file: fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_sf.c, line: 647 kernel BUG at fs/xfs/support/debug.c:82! this is almost certainly a result of xfs_dir2_sf_off_t, xfs_dir2_sf_hdr_t, and/or xfs_dir2_sf_entry_t or others not being "properly" aligned on arm. There was a patch floating around to "fix" it but it's not on-disk compatible w/ x86 & friends, it just makes things consistent for arm. I think packing some of these structures would take care of it, but this problem could use some attention & testing I think, it's been floating around a long time. -Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
