I have 2.6.20.1 building now. I know that 2.6.20-ck1 worked well, so now
I walking fwd from 2.6.20, trying to bisect it. .1 wasn't much of a
patch, but who knows at this point, I'm not 'the shadow' in a 65 year old
radio show. And it looks like that build is done, so here goes the next
test.
The worst thing about this is that amanda's database is being hosed
everytime this happens, and it's been 3 runs in a row, in a dumpcycle of
5, where this has occurred. I can do one more bad run by pre-clearing
the vtape +1 that's it is going to use each time because the partition
being used for vtapes is sitting at about 93% utilization now. Normal
life, its about 84%, it is a 175GB partition. That also is stirring
around in the old girls database when I kill stuff she thinks is there,
but its also about 3 dumpcycles back and pretty much out of the picture
so she will recover in a couple of dumpcycles once I find this, if indeed
I do.
You've cooked up patches for all this, so it 2.6.20.1 works ok, then I try
your patch on that one. I tried 2.6.21-rc1, and it bombed too, but I
just figured that was an -rc1, and we're expected to lose a pint of blood
at most any -rc1 aren't we?, so I didn't give it any great thought and
reverted till -rc2 came out. But I ramble & times-a-wasting.
