Panic with XFS on RHEL5 (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5)
From: Chris Boot
Date: Sat Aug 18 2007 - 06:11:37 EST
All,
I've got a box running RHEL5 and haven't been impressed by ext3
performance on it (running of a 1.5TB HP MSA20 using the cciss driver).
I compiled XFS as a module and tried it out since I'm used to using it
on Debian, which runs much more efficiently. However, every so often the
kernel panics as below. Apologies for the tainted kernel, but we run
VMware Server on the box as well.
Does anyone have any hits/tips for using XFS on Red Hat? What's causing
the panic below, and is there a way around this?
Many thanks,
Chris Boot
