Hello all, hope all is well. I had built centos6 and centos7 live images for use with the dsu for non-rhel/centos hosts and/or older rhel/centos hosts and/or point release where the dsu was acting finicky on otherwise blessed OS installs. They worked fine running dsu -i.
I have returned to the process on r630s and the previous live images do not work and neither do fresh live images work. So when I say NOT work, I run dsu -i and after "Getting System Inventory..." I recevied filesystem errors. I am sitting on the console ttyS1 watching kernel messages as well. [ 474.385717] Buffer I/O error on device dm-4, logical block 1049085 [ 474.393779] lost page write due to I/O error on dm-4 614.301791] EXT4-fs warning (device dm-4): __ext4_read_dirblock:902: error reading directory block (ino 269951, block 0) [ 614.503370] EXT4-fs warning (device dm-4): __ext4_read_dirblock:902: error reading directory block (ino 269954, block 0) Selinux on or off has no effect. Copying to ram doesn't help. Initially I created sparse files for the basis of my live images. After many FS errors, I then switched over to a 13G fully allocated image file. With that I seemed to have better luck. I coud run dsu -i 3x before I received FS errors [root@localhost ~]# dsu -i Getting System Inventory... 1. BIOS ( Version : 1.3.6 ) 2.

However I feel I've done that. With these live images I have installed other drivers and copied gigs of data to the FS, just to stress test the FS after seeing the errors, without issue. Yes there is a live iso from Dell. It was last updated in Feb of 2015. If you think that will fly, you haven't tried your own support, with a server that behind in updates. ;) Any thoughts as to what apparent, note I say apparent ;), havoc dsu is causing? Am I missing something?
