 Hi,

 
 wrong bytes is not a big problem, reiser4 indeed counted them wrongly some 
 time ago, although it seems to be fixed already. the only serious problem 
 here is at the beginning of the 'CHECKING STORAGE TREE' pass -- there must 
 not be a key [0:0(NAME):0:0:0].
  
   
 After second fsck, I have unmounted and mounted it read only to save
 data on ext3 partition and to wait answers and suggestions before using
 reiser4 once more.
 

 which reiser4progs version do you use?
   
1.0.5
 it is already difficult to say why this strange key appeared -- you have
 already run several build-fs runs -- although it may be related to remount 
 (I remember we used to have some problems before) or to fsck --build-fs.
   
But I was not able to use filesystem after first fsck --build-fs. Even
ls mountpoint was failing with io error message.
 unmount you fs please and run 'fsck --check' on the unmounted fs -- check 
 that all is right there now.
   
FS is consistent
 which kernel version do you use?
   
It's 2.4.16, ALTLinux vserver's kernel (see
http://www.sisyphus.ru/srpm/kernel-image-vs26-smp) with applied patch
based on namesys' for 2.6.14, you can see it's spec, changelog and
download it from http://www.sisyphus.ru/srpm/kernel-feat-fs-reiser4.

As I can see now, all data were intact, everything restored O.K after
these 2 fsck --build-fs.

Re: reiser4 problems

2006-03-21 Thread Sergey Ivanov
Thank you, Hans.
One additional bit, may be it's about different problem.
While copying from reiser4 volumes to newly created ext3 ones, I decided
to remount read-only the with mount -o remount,ro command the source
of copying.
And it results in kernel panics I'm attaching to this mail.
Then the cp process become unkillable, and the system did not reboot
down remotely, I'll see at which point it hanged when I'll be there.

 Hi,
 I am sorry to report problems I had this night at my e-mail server.
 Grepped reiser4 messages from /var/log/messages are at
 http://parkheights.dyndns.org/r4log.bz2
 I have 2 processor system (athlon) with raid5 software array with 5x62.1
 GB, giving me 248.4GB for use. I have created lvm2 volumes for imap
 folders there, and also have /usr, /var, /home and other resides on the
 same raid5, everything formatted reiser4.
 Yesterday the server stops working, but answer pings. I've rebooted it
 with magic SysRQ key combinations after forced unmounting and syncing
 all partitions. But in the night the problems reappear on some of
 virtual volumes. In the morning I did remount -o ro and fsck.reiser4,
 all but one volume was O.K, but one required rebuild-fs. Excuse me, I
 have not saved the first fsck.reiser4 output. After rebuilding fs and
 then rebooting the system, I've got immediately problems, the filesystem
 was not accessible, all attempts to get ls of it finished with i/o error
 messagees. (I have errors in /etc/fstab, the reiser4 volumes has lines 
 ending with 1 1, not 1 2 as it should be. I'm not sure it attributed to
 the these  problems).
 The second fsck.reiser4 once more founded some problems, it's the log:

 CLEANUPING STORAGE TREE
 ...
 --- (once more, excuse me, I have copied it from xterm while it was
 'cleanuping storage tree', so it's not the full log).

wrong bytes is not a big problem, reiser4 indeed counted them wrongly some 
time ago, although it seems to be fixed already. the only serious problem 
here is at the beginning of the 'CHECKING STORAGE TREE' pass -- there must 
not be a key [0:0(NAME):0:0:0].
 
 After second fsck, I have unmounted and mounted it read only to save
 data on ext3 partition and to wait answers and suggestions before using
 reiser4 once more.

which reiser4progs version do you use?

it is already difficult to say why this strange key appeared -- you have
already run several build-fs runs -- although it may be related to remount 
(I remember we used to have some problems before) or to fsck --build-fs.

unmount you fs please and run 'fsck --check' on the unmounted fs -- check 
that all is right there now.

which kernel version do you use?

I believe it is fixed in 2.6.14-rc2-mm2. Please use it.

PS: if it still does not work - try to set REISER4_USE_EFLUSH macro (it is in

If that does not help - please report.

 Please describe the problem you had with reiser4.

This was on kernel 2.6.10-rc3-mm1.
bonnie++ went just fine with reiser4 on top of disk, raid0, raid1, raid5
and raid10. apt-get (Debian) on reiser4 raid10 gave segfaults so I let
that run om tmpfs. I believe useradd also gave segfaults an crashed the
system. Not sure though.

I've reformatted the system already to reiser3, but I might be able to
do some tests on reiser4 on a loopback device?

Didn't have the time yet, but seems Cal has..
Lost in the alchemy, I didn't notice the update, so thanks for the

[snip kernel oops]
 Last night, with a blend of about 60/40 alchemy/engineering, I  
merged  base 2.6.10-rc2 with 2.6.10-rc2-bk3, reiser4-for-2.6.10-rc1,  
selected  fixes from 2.6.10-mm1 and the reiserfs mailing list, plus

need to figure  out the difference between that and 2.6.10-mm2.  That

Wow... while you're figuring out which part fixes it, do you mind  
diffing your tree against 2.6.10-rc2-mm2 and posting the patch? I'll  
gladly try it out... might even take a look at the difference in the  
reiser code to see what's been changed (on the assumption that it's  
reiser4 that's causing the problem, and not some sideeffect).

Cheers,
Kacper

Re: reiser4 problems in 2.6.10-rc1-mm

 However, should anyone more knowledgable about reiser4 have any
ideas   as to what's causing this oops, I'd be more than happy to
debug a   little further.

Just so you don't feel so alone:  I'm having the same problems
(apt-get update), so you're not alone.  I haven't spoken up earlier
because as yet, I don't have anything constructive to offer.  But I'm
trying!

Could you try 2.6.10-rc2-mm2, reiser4 is pretty stable in this tree, and
contains more fix bits.

Lost in the alchemy, I didn't notice the update, so thanks for the
update pointer. The problem still happens in 2.6.10-rc2-mm2:-

Last night, with a blend of about 60/40 alchemy/engineering, I merged
base 2.6.10-rc2 with 2.6.10-rc2-bk3, reiser4-for-2.6.10-rc1, selected
fixes from 2.6.10-mm1 and the reiserfs mailing list, plus ck patches.
 So far that build performs just fine.  Now I guess I need to figure
out the difference between that and 2.6.10-mm2.  That said, I
cheerfully acknowledge that the mm series is the best place to be if
using reiser4.

Hello,
I decided to try out reiser4 yesterday, when I got a new harddrive
for my laptop. In the process, I had some terrible problems, and gave
up after a good full day of trying to make it work.
[snip]
Steps to reproduce: run 'apt-get update' (or any apt-get command
really, and some other apps as well). 'apt-get update' will fetch all
the index files and then oops on 'reading package lists..' First time
after reboot: recoverable kernel oops. Second time: process enters
unkillable sleep, as does strace and gdb when attempting to attach to
it.

Hi,
I'm replying to my own message here, but I made some progress on this  
today: after basically restoring the filesystem again, I used the  
missing context fix patch from the thread
Re: 2.6.10-rc2-mm1: oops when accessing reiser4 fs's(maybe fix	 
provided) on this very same list, since Mathieu Segaud seemed to have  
problems similar to mine. This did indeed fix my bootup oopsing  
problems, however the filesystem still oopses+segfaults some important  
applications - ie apt-get as described in the previous post.

I'm not posting the new (slightly different)oops here, as I noticed  
that the previous oopses were a little hard to read due to all the  
syslog crap, and I'm not sure anyone's interested, since I did not  
receive any replies to my previous post. Also, my reiserfs (v3)  
partition seems to be working fine
(this mere fact rules out a corrupted file system due to usb tranfer  
errors and most possibilities of physical problems with my new  
harddrive).

However, should anyone more knowledgable about reiser4 have any ideas  
as to what's causing this oops, I'd be more than happy to debug a  
little further.

Cheers,
Kacper
