May it be possible to add this patch to the Ubuntu kernel anyway? I have two reasons:
1. I cannot turn on XFS quota on a filesystem with many files, as described above. 2. As far as I can remember from the last six months, if I run xfs_check(8) on a filesystem, a quotacheck will be needed afterwards. This means that if I happen to do an xfs_check on a filesystem because I suspect a corrupt filesystem, I cannot use XFS quotas afterwards. Of course, I unterstand your reasons for waiting for the patch to be accepted in -stable. I tried to find out about the state of the patch, but I couldn't find much: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-08/msg00255.html (102 patches are proposed for -stable, the patch mentioned above is among them -- comment: too many patches at once) http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-09/msg00260.html (here it is mentioned that the patch is included in 3.5) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069947 Title: XFS quotacheck OOM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1069947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
