In the short time I have been working with olpc I have had my Fedora VMware machines curdle their ext3 disks 3 times.
I have been running 2.4 and 2.6 Redhats and Debians for over a year with no such problems. Once the first Fedora 7 machine broke its disk I have been very careful to shutdown every time. I cannot point to any particular activity that has corrupted the disk image. Things will start to go "wrong" and a subsequent reboot with fschk will yield a disk hopelessly in trouble. Does the jhbuild emulator do any exotic direct to disk IO that may be causing this? Does Fedora aggressively modify its ext3, vfs or SCSI drivers? I have built a third Fedora 8 VM this time using IDE disk IO in hopes that this problem will go away. Has anyone else seen this kind of problem? -Gerard _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
