I'm not sure who to address this to, but I'll start off here hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Let me set the scene:
1. one new box, Intel Celeron 2.4GHz, 256Mb DDR, 40Gb Western Digital drive. All brand new. 2. one existing box, Intel Celeron 2.0GHz, 512Mb DDR, 40Gb drive. All 2-3 years old. On both systems I tried installing SuSE 9.3 (kernel 2.6.11.2) using JFS root partitions. (for both systems, I had to rebuild the SuSE supplied kernel sources to get JFS available at bootup-time. ) In both cases, after completing the install and booting up for the first time, I ended up with a pile of "ERROR: (device hd(3,3)): XT_GETPAGE: xtree page corrupt" which left the root file-system read-only. fsck'ing it made it writeable again, but the situation repeated itself after the next reboot. On system (1) I tried using a vanilla 2.6.12 kernel but with the same result. System (2) is now back on an older SuSe distro, on a 2.4.21 kernel - I'll be upgrading this to a vanilla 2.4.31 in a while. But, the system is now running JFS just fine. Is there anything about JFS and kernel 2.6.11+ I need to know or understand? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
