Hello!
A few days ago I received a filesystem memory corruption notification
from Debian's Linux kernel (2.6.20), which automatically unmounted my
root partition. Upon closer investigation, I found that something had
overwritten most of my data, XFS's superblocks and other metadata
structures. Th

Most likely something in the Kernel got them mucked up. Or your
hardware is junk.

XFS eats files. Did you lose power or did your system crash? XFS is very
good at losing files.
Other than that, LVM is the next culprit.
Samba only opens and writes to files. It has no code to do anything else
in it.

Glad to finally see a reply not 100% about my hardware.

It's not FS corruption per s

Hmmm... I have two samba PDC running in a very faulty electrical connection, with power
failures each week and XFS never hit/lose a file.

These claims about XFS are very outdated.

The best way I've ever found to reliably find bad memory is compile
something big, like X. If your memory is bad, you'll find out pretty
quick...
The real solution is to use ECC memory. :)
Curious...

non-ECC, and its b

Neither are true.

Hi John,
Thanks for the response...
This is what I was actually suspecting, but had no clue about these
errors being logged in the BIOS - and thanks for the pointer to being
able to read these on a running system - I'm off to read and test/implement.
My experience with this has been limited mo
