Hi all, Been discussing this with the SGI guys. The problem is most likely to be that current mkfs.xfs enables the "lazy superblock" accounting feature, which was supported in kernels since 2.6.23. Can we confirm that the installer is using an earlier kernel? I've mentioned to upstream that 7 months may not be enough lead time before mkfs enables new features by default, and they're considering that and may/may not undo the change in the next xfsprogs (hope they do, as thats probably the best bet here, and I'll quickly upload any new version that does this). In the meantime, the following will resolve it: - move d-i to a newer kernel (dunno if this is an option here?) - run mkfs.xfs with the "-l lazy-count=0" option (probably not a great option either). - ...? IMO, best bet is to get upstream to undo this change for another 6 months or so. I'll keep pushing for that. I'd rather not patch in such a change myself without them doing a release, but if we have no other option, we can do that. Can someone from the d-i team provide their thoughts on the options I listed above? thanks! cheers. -- Nathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
