Johnson" To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: Linux 2.4.3 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Attempts to run linux-2.4.3-pre2 on chaos.analogic.com results in **MASSIVE** file-system destruction. I have (had) all SCSI disks, using the BusLogic controller. There is something **MAJOR** going on BAD, BAD, BAD, even disks that were not mounted got trashed. This is (was) a 400MHz SMP machine with 256 Mb of RAM. I don't know what else to say, since I have nothing to mount. I can "get back" but it will take several days. I have to install a minimum system then restore everything from tapes. I -- S T R O N G L Y -- suggest that nobody use this kernel with a BusLogic SCSI controller until this problem is fixed. This is being sent from another machine, not on the list (actually from home where I am trying to see what happened -- I brought all 4 of my disks home). It looks like some kind of a loop. I have a pattern written throughout one of the disks.
