Re: reiser4 bug

2006-04-11 Thread Michael Weissenbacher

Hi,
it is known problem. Fixed in 2.6.17-rc1-mm2 
(reiser4-have-get_exclusive_access-restart-transaction.patch).
as i've been burned by this bug, too i would suggest making a new patch 
for 2.6.16 including

reiser4-have-get_exclusive_access-restart-transaction.patch
or at least put a warning there that the version is unstable. i'm sure 
most people go straight for the vanilla kernel patch and don't bother 
with mm-kernels. this puts reiser4 in a bad light imo.


kind regards,
Michael

RE: reiser4 bug

2006-04-11 Thread Matt Eaton
The patch posted works for me. I would concur with Michael on this one.

For some reason openoffice triggered it with my problem. This is a bad
area to have data loss and I imagine I wouldn't be the first to lose a
document from this bug. It doesn't leave an inconsistent filesystem,
but it does lock the current filesystem down (and prevents your
document from being saved).

Would definitely recommend you guys release a reiser4-for-2.6.16-2 patch
and zap -1.

Thanks for the quick reply though with the fix -- saved me additional
troubles.

Regards,
Matthew

It was about 300MB. But previously I have copied a lot of relative big 
movies (600-700 MB).

 We have another similar bug report related to
writing/reading of a large (20GB) tar file, so file size may be important.
 

I think the larges file I have ever stored using reiser4 was about 3 or 
4 GB. ( for example: vmware disk images, dvd isos ...)

Hi All,
I have been using reiser4fs for 4 months without any problem since 
today. After tryinig to open a movie with mplayer a have this in my log:
   

no other reiser4 messages in the log for 4 months? 

I have checked my logs. I was not able to find anything from reiserfs. 
But I have uploaded my syslog since feb 27 (this is when the bug occured):

http://nuk.teteny.elte.hu/~selli/syslog.1.bz2 ( 1.8 compressed, 300M 
uncompresed )

It may has more information about the bug, you should check it.  For 
example the very first message from reiser4 is:

Feb 27 12:59:38 sunset kernel: WARNING: Wrong level found in node: 1 != 95

like delimitingkey
mismatch reports?
there was wrong bitmap checksum.  actually I haven't seen such reports until
now.  are you sure your computer's disk/ram work well?
 

My machine (seems to be) is fun, I have run some tests.
Another info:
I was using an extrenal usb2 disk (120Gb/ reiser4) when this affair 
occurd. After rebooting I had to repair all my reiser4 partitions. ( / 
hda2,   /home hda5/,   /mnt/Movies sda1).

For the / I had to use --build-sb, then --build-fs, then --fix
For /home, and the external /mnt/Movies just the --build-sb

were there unclear reboots?
I had some crash ( I think it was because of my bug ethernet driver, I 
have no crash since I replaced it)

 That shouldn't be a problem unless disk write
caching is disabled. 
 

How can I chech this?

I had to install a new root filesystem, and using that I was able to fix 
the filesystem. ( --build-sb, build-fs, and fix )
I have lost some file but fortunatly I was able to use my system again.

The affair happend when I was using 2.6.10 with reiser4 patch(from 
namesys.com). I tried to reboot with my previos kernel (2.6.9-cko3) but 
had the some bug (see screenshots). Sorry but I forgot to save the
