Hello,

I just had the third volume corruption due to a copyonwrite failure in
less
than a week.

The first two failures happened on a 2.4.13+xfs+aacraid SMP kernel with
xfs as /vicepx file system. After that I switched back to 2.2.19+aacraid 
SMP kernel and ext2. But this morning there was another copyonwrite
failure.
I am using Openafs 1.2.2.

Output of /usr/afs/log/FileLog:

> Wed Oct 31 00:35:52 2001 CopyOnWrite failed: volume 536871253 in partition 
>       /vicepa  (tried reading 8192, read 0, wrote 0, errno 4) volume needs salvage
> Wed Oct 31 07:45:18 2001 VAttachVolume: volume salvage flag is ON for

> Wed Oct 31 07:45:28 2001 VAttachVolume: volume salvage flag is ON for 
>       /vicepa//V0536871253.vol; volume needs salvage

Could this problem somehow be related to the old linux-truncate-inode
bug?
Any ideas?

Thanks,
