[1.] One line summary of the problem:
kernel panic while copying files
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
When I copy a 450 MB file from one partition (/usr) to another (/tmp) I
get a kernel panic. It happens everytime I copy that file. The amount
of data copied before the kernel panic is not always the same. These
two partitions use ext2fs.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
xx
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
The problem happens with kernel 2.4.0-test{1,5,8,9}
and it doesn't happen with kernel 2.2.{14,17}
I would like to use newer kernels since I want to add XFS support (SGI's
filesystem). Although I must specify that my problems are happening
even with kernel that have not had the XFS patch applied.
[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
xx
[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
cp /usr/blah1 /tmp
[7.] Environment
