Re: [CentOS] weird XFS problem

2012-01-22 Thread Miguel Medalha
Now the machine is not particularly powerful: it is 64-bit machine, dual core CPU, 3 GB RAM. So perhaps this is a factor in why I am having the following problem: once in awhile that XFS partition starts generating multiple I/O errors, files that had content become 0 byte, directories

Correction to the above: the XFS partition is 26TB, not 16 TB (not that it should matter in the context of this particular situation). Yes, it does matter: Read this: *[CentOS] 32-bit kernel+XFS+16.xTB filesystem = potential disaster*

Nevertheless, it seems to me that you should have more than 3GB of RAM on a 64 bit system... Since the width of the binary word is 64 bit in this case, 3GB correspond to 1.5GB on a 32 bit system... If you have a 64 bit system you should give it space to work properly.

You are right - it would indeed be desirable to have more than 3 GB of RAM on that system. However it is not obvious to me that having that little RAM should cause I/O failure? Why? That it would make the machine slow is to be expected - and especially so given that I had to jack the
