I'm at the end of my rope with this problem and I'm hoping that people here can help. I have a few boxes that are Oops'ing on startup due to mounting some xfs volumes. I created a machine with the 2008.0 live cd and the stage3-i686-hardened tarball. I'm using xfs on top of lvm2 and some xfs volumes will mount while others won't. I first noticed this in 2.6.27-hardened-r3, but I've since compiled
2.6.24-gentoo-r8 (same kernel as livecd) 2.6.27-gentoo-r7 2.6.27.10 (vanilla) and they all have the same problem. home, tmp, usr, and var are all xfs volumes (on top of lvm) but only var refuses to mount. I'm using the same kernel config (albeit churned through make oldconfig) to eliminate and discrepancies but I don't think it's kernel related as they all do it (or I'm configuring the kernel incorrectly). Here's a quick summary of the relevant livecd utils and what I currently have on my box: livecd xfs 2.9.7 lvm libary 2.02.28 lvm library version 1.02.22 lvm driver version 4.12.0 my box xfs 2.10.1 lvm libary 2.02.36 lvm library version 1.02.24 lvm driver version 4.12.0 I've looked through b.g.o, gmane and google but I couldn't find anything relevant. I'm attaching a trimmed version of dmesg with the errors and my emerge --info. Thanks! BTW, I just used a different fs on another machine with this problem but either something is broken and should be fixed, or I'm doing something incorrectly and need to be educated.
