Yesterday I encountered an on-the-fly corruption of my /home filesystem. It worked perfectly one second, the next I hit these nice errors:
Nov 21 16:37:22 precious kernel: 0x0: 31 9e ce 63 cf ff 9c cf ff 31 61 63 ff ff ff ff Nov 21 16:37:23 precious kernel: Filesystem "hda5": XFS internal error xfs_da_do_buf(2) at line 2273 of file fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c. Caller 0xc01fb908
Nov 21 16:37:23 precious kernel: [xfs_da_do_buf+905/2160] xfs_da_do_buf+0x389/0x870


I don't have any ideas at the moment, but please cc: me also. I'd like
to watch for issues I do understand as this bug's nature is clarified.

While we are at it: Is xfs known to be broken while preempt is on? (Esp using ck's preemp big kernel lock?) I got following using a raid0 setup with xfs. I thought it would be a driver issue, but reformatting to ext3 the stripe array runs now w/o probs for a few days. (xfs crapped out after a few hours on heavy disk activity.)

If you need more infos (dmesg, .config, etc) let me know.
