[Jfs-discussion] Bug 2591, 2609

[<di...@no...>]

Hi,

yesterday i checked the 1.0.13 version but i still have the same problem. The 
FreePascal compiler freezes the system, only pinging the machine works (the 
keyboard interrupt handler also seems to run, the num lock led is working)

Additionaly i had some other freezes that did not freeze the complete machine 
but access to the filesystem. This happend 4 times yesterday, 3 times while 
copying a tree (about 1 GB) with midnight commander from one jfs fs to another 
and one time while deleting a tree with a lot of small files (> 25000). That 
was on a P4, 1,7Ghz with 2 Ide-Disks, Software Raid 1

Currently i'm using the 1.0.13 version with kernel 2.4.18 pre 4, i had the 
same problems with 2.4.17 and 1.0.12.

It seems to be that bug 2609 is very similar to my second problem.

I would like to have some hints how to isolate the problem. Is there some kind 
of kernel debugger that can be activated (i.e. via a special key via keyboard) 
so that i can see where the kernel hangs. I think my mainboard does not have a 
nmi button. For me it looks like some kind of deadlock in jfs.

Another question:
Since the 1.0.13 i get the following message during fsck.jfs:
fsck.jfs(..) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use the new 
ictls
What software do i have to upgrade ?
