[PVFS-users] ia64 kernel crash / 1.6.3 pre1

Tue May 18 15:29:42 EDT 2004

Hello,

in the past couple of weeks we experienced some PVFS-induced crashes on 
ia64 using PVFS 1.6.2. I uploaded some kernel oops debug info to 
http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~cbi/pvfsoops/ - it seems the problem is 
caused by a call to memset respectively __copy_user (see 
ksymoops.out2.gz). Has someone seen similar problems?

Actually we also tried PVFS 1.6.3pre1 but after deleting a file the 
IODs reproducibly did not release the space on disk (on ia32 and ia64) 
so while the file was gone, the filesystem space was still being used. 
Possibly a bug?

Thanks for any kind of input on these issues!

Greeting from Munich,

  Christoph
