Hello List!
I'm currently revive an old Digital AlphaStation 200 with an Alpha EV4
processor (Avanti system). OS is a Debian SID (unstable) with a self
compiled 2.6.9 kernel (gcc 3.3.5).
On one of the two scsi disks I created one single partition and formated
it successfully with JFS.
When I'm trying to mount that partition, the mount-binary segfaults and
the kernel throws following message into the logs...
<snip>
I've tested the disk with 'badblocks' - seems there is no problem. Also
a ext3-filesystem runs in a 'normal' way.
Maybe it's the memory with some defects, but this only happens when I
try to mount an JFS filesystem.
But could this be kernel or JFS related? Below is the actual .config.
I'm currently recompile the kernel with
JFS_DEBUG which hopefully give a hint where the problem is.... but this
will take sometime on this machine :)
This is actually a known issue, which I think Shaggy has plans to work
on in the coming year. Basically, JFS doesn't work properly on
architectures without a 4k page size. This includes Alpha 8K, Sparc
8K, and more. I think maybe we should at least disable JFS support on
architecutres where this is the case, so more people don't get
confused by this.
Sorry!
Sonny
