Re: ext2 corruption in 2.4.2, scsi only system

2001-03-26 Thread Dale E Martin

 Dale,
 Alan Cox has reported the following:
 
  2.4.2-ac19
  ...
  o   Hopefully fix the buslogic corruptions  (me)
 
 Alan's ac tree also contains a consolidated set of
 patches from Eric Youngdale for the SCSI midlevel.
 Alan's latest is ac25 and may be worth trying (ac24
 has been working fine for me).

After scanning the mailing list archives, I was under the impression that
this Buslogic issue was an AC series problem.  Is there a known problem
with Buslogic controllers in 2.4.2?  

Thanks for the info.

  Dale

It seems there is. The changes in -ac and in 2.4.3pre limit the max blocks
per request which seems to make it happier

 I had had good luck with 2.4.x on other boxes, so I put it 
 on this machine as well.  Several times now I've seen ext2 
 corruption with no other noteworthy logs.

 The machine is a dual PPro, it has a Buslogic BT958 with a 
 single 9G scsi/wide drive in it.
