Package: linux-image-2.6-amd64 Version: 2.6.18+6etch3 I've lost 2 xfs filesystems this weekend after adding lots of acls to many files.
With some help from the people of the xfs IRC channel, I could nail it down to a problem with xfs an attr2. It seems that the debian 2.6.18 kernel is missing a very important bugfix. The bug report originally comes from red hat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=212201 This is what I found in the archibes of the xfs mailing list: http://www.linux.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00104.html The filesystems that crashed had a size of 2 TB and 6 TB. xfs_repair couldn't help much. In the end I had to restore the data from the last backup. I know that packages in the stable release are only updated with important (security) fixes. But this bug can (did) cause data loss and would be worth a fix. Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
