Hello

i have a really "nice" problem with my logical volume on an really small raid1 (only about 4G).

I use a kernel.org kernel 2.6.12 on a SuSE 9.2.

LVM version: 2.00.25 (2004-09-29)
Library version: 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03)
Driver version: 4.4.0
reiser 3.6.18

and here is whats wondering me.

If i'm taring a larger archiv on a non lvm filesystem (linux sources) everythink works really smooth. Tar archiv is about 280 mb. After that i'm moving it to the lvm located filesystem (this is exported via nfs), logging into a client, untaring works perfect.

md5sum ist always:

host: md5sum linux-2.6.12.tar 8145881b9d63dcc10419eb69137d6641 linux-2.6.12.tar
host: md5sum linux-2.6.12.tar 8145881b9d63dcc10419eb69137d6641 linux-2.6.12.tar

That's fine. But now !!!

Taring the same source directly to the lvm located filesystem

host: md5sum linux-2.6.12.tar f9bfdc9ad446adf9db9e54d80723bd9c linux-2.6.12.tar
host: md5sum linux-2.6.12.tar 58b2e962e9b7c8739d61ff033cd85130 linux-2.6.12.tar
host: md5sum linux-2.6.12.tar 6442fbabecfbbeba7c91c578c95df7c3 linux-2.6.12.tar

For sure it's allways the same tar archiv. Untaring is not possible anymore. I got errors, tar archiv is broken. Doing it using a smaller source (5 mb) everythink is ok.

Has anyone got those problems too?

Any hints are appreciated.

Dirk

I use a kernel.org kernel 2.6.12 on a SuSE 9.2.

Try updating to latest 2.6.13-rc* which includes a fix to bio_clone.

Hello Alasdair

you were absolutely right. I read about the problem was solved in 2.6.12.4 so i tried this because using one of the rc kernels sometimes gave me problems with some hardware (like nvidia graphic card). Also in 2.6.12.4 the problem should be solved. After installing i tried the same file tared on thursday an everythink is working properly now. No errors anymore.

Thank you for helping me.
