Hi.
I'm getting oopses on a linux 2.2.17 box when I try to do
tar cvIf <file> -X<file> /. Reproducably. This works fine
for the std. RH 6.2 kernel (2.2.14-5). The resulting file
is about 20MB.
I would submit the oops, but it is run through klogd and
I seem to remember people expressing dissatisfaction
with klogd. So what do I do now to get a usable oops
to submit?
Regards,
Rasmus

I dont know anything wrong with klogd.
Anyway, kill klogd so you'll get a non decoded oops on your screen and
then you can decoded it with ksymoops.

Are you excluding /proc? Trying to back up all of /proc is definitely
asking for trouble, although the oops still indicates a kernel bug.

Good suggestion. But I exclude /proc and anyways it crashes before I get
to that part of the fs.
