PROBLEM: Linux 2.6.6 completely locked up. : kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c
From: John Rimell
Date: Wed May 19 2004 - 19:31:00 EST
I've been running linux for years and not seen it lock up like this
before. It stopped responding to all input. I was in X and mouse froze,
it stopped responding to all keyboard input including Ctl-alt-F1/2/3/4
etc and Ctl-atl-Del. I could ping the box from another machine but not
ssh in.
On Redhat 9 updated with a lot of fedora core 2 bits, I was running X
using Gnome 2.6 and commands were inputted using gnome-terminal.
It all revolved around using growisofs of dvd+rw-tools-5.17.4.8.6-2. I
have a Ricoh MP5125A that I recently installed and is allocated /dev/hdc
(with symbolic link /dev/dvd pointing to it)
I have just started trying to write to it using growisofs.
It worked the first time using the command growisofs -Z /dev/dvd <files>
But I noticed that the filenames were getting changed to a 8.3 format,
so I tried again using... growisofs -J -R -Z /dev/dvd
That failed and returned an error message that I don't remember and
wasn't logged :(
From that point on, the light on the front of the DVD drive was lit up
as if it was in use.
The drive refused to eject as if the drive was mounted, but it was not
and umount simply would say the drive was not mounted (I don't really
think it was).
I tried to mount the drive but mount seg faulted!
In a last attempt to get something to communicate with the drive I tried
a growisofs -M /dev/dvd <files> (try to add more files to the disc)
At that point, linux crashed. complete system freeze. The screen stayed
the same, but the mouse was frozen along with everything else.
Now for the good news. I got a load of log data in my /var/log/messages.
I can't be clear as to what command caused what messages, but ignore all
the smartd stuff on the other drive.
