This isn't a regression.

I was seeing these problems on 2.6.21 (but 22 was in -rc so I waited to try it).
I tried 2.6.22-rc4 (with Tejun's patches) to see if it had improved - no.

Note this is a different (desktop) machine to that involved my recent bugs.

The machine will work for days (continually powered up) without a problem and then exhibits a filesystem failure within minutes of a resume.

I know xfs/raid are OK with hibernate. Is lvm?

I have LVM working with hibernate w/o any problems (w/ ext3). If there were a problem it wouldn't be with LVM but with device-mapper, and I doubt there's a problem with either. The stack trace shows that you're within XFS code (but it's likely its hibernate).

Thanks - that's good to know.
The suspicion arises because I have xfs on raid1 as root and have *never* had a problem with that filesystem. It's *always* xfs on lvm on raid5. I also have another system (previously discussed) that reliably hibernated xfs on raid6.

(Clearly raid5 is in my suspect list)

You can easily check whether its LVM/device-mapper:

1) check "dmsetup table" - it should be the same before hibernating and after resuming.

2) read directly from the LV - ie, "dd if=/dev/mapper/video_vg-video_lv of=/dev/null bs=10M count=200".

If dmsetup shows the same info and you can read directly from the LV I doubt it would be a LVM/device-mapper problem.

OK, that gave me an idea.

Freeze the filesystem
md5sum the lvm
hibernate
resume
md5sum the lvm

so:


haze:~# xfs_freeze -f /scratch/

Without this sync, the next two md5sums differed..
haze:~# sync
haze:~# dd if=/dev/video_vg/video_lv bs=10M count=200 | md5sum
200+0 records in
200+0 records out
2097152000 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 41.2495 seconds, 50.8 MB/s

haze:~# xfs_freeze -u /scratch/

So the lvm and below looks OK...

I'll see how it behaves now the filesystem has been frozen/thawed over the hibernate...
