Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfs
I performed a clean install with the Gutsy alternate image.
I set up 1 partition on two SATA drives in a RAID 0 config, then set up
LVM on md0, then created swap, root (75G), and home (~700G) partitions.
Root and home were formatted with XFS.
I experienced strange but 100% repeatable problems in this
configuration. Switching to ext3 completely cured them.
Problems:
Adept segfaults
package install/integrity issues
segfaults of random applications (kate, software-properties-kde, etc)
I re-ran this install several times with XFS thinking it was a hardware
problem, incompatibility, or playing with other issues. Finally after
reinstalling on the same LVM logical volumes with a simple ext3 reformat
eliminated all issues.
Recommend attempts to reproduce! If this isn't just me, XFS should be
struck from the list of choices in the installer until it can be made
safe... Just lucky I noticed problems before I started trusting the FS
to hold data...
Hardware:
Intel Core 2 X9650 cpu
Asus Maximus Formula Intel X38 mobo, used onboard sata...
