Guys,
one of our boxes just died with the following error:
kernel panic - not syncing: fs/block_dev.c:396: spin_lock (fs/block_dev.c:c0361c0) already locked by fs/block_dev.c/287.
The system's an LVS running CentOS 4.3:
centos-release-4-3.2 kernel-2.6.9-34.EL ipvsadm-1.24-6 heartbeat-1.2.3.cvs.20050927-1.centos4
I note that there's a bug report filed related to CentOS 4.2:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1201&nbn=7
I was just wondering, would you like a bug report filed for this?
Will.
There are lots of spinlock issues fixed with a kernel that is in our testing repo ...
THIS IS A TESTING KERNEL !!!!
:)
You can get it like this:
place the testing repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ... the repo file is here:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Testing.repo
Then you can get the testing kernel (or kernel-smp, kernel-hugemem. etc) with the command:
yum --enable-repo=c4-testing install kernel
(or kernel-smp, kernel-hugemem, etc.)
(did I mention this was a testing kernel ... :)
