Hi,

I noticed that the system hung up right after the filesystem is full
by the memory mapped I/O (no terminal response and no one can enter
the KDB).

My environment is RedHat 7.1 + linux-2.4.10-pre10-xfs(20010918 XFS CVS Tree)
+ gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release).

The test program attached the end of this mail could reproduce this.

  ex) filesystem capacity: 128MB 

    % cd /mnt/xfs
    % testprog 40		/* 40 * 4MB = 160MB */
	-> system hangs!

In case of ext2fs, this program was killed by SIGBUS.


Is there anything to do for investigation?


P.S.
Why does disk block is allocated the reverse order by memory mapped I/O
as follows?

    # mkfs -t xfs /dev/sda7
    # mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/xfs
    # cd /mnt/xfs
    # testprog 1
    # xfs_bmap hole
