Description Eric Harney 2006-08-27 07:22:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
When issuing a "cp -a --preserve=all folder_a /mnt/storage/" from an ext3 volume
to a reiserfs volume, cp was killed.  dmesg showed multiple stack traces and BUG
messages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Linux packetbane 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 11 22:53:56 EDT 2006 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:
Unable to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce:
Appeared when copying a large folder with many files and subfolders from an ext3
volume to a reiserfs volume.  Both volumes are on LVM, which is on top of mdraid.

Attaching dmesg output which includes multiple BUG messages and stack traces
from the same event.  Seems to indicate a kernel bug.

Changing to proper owner, kernel-maint.
Comment 3 Dave Jones 2006-09-11 04:05:33 UTC 
Reiserfs oopses are better off reported in the upstream bugzilla, or posted to
linux-kernel.org, where the upstream developers may give it attention.
Comment 4 Eric Harney 2006-09-12 15:35:58 UTC 
The upstream bugzilla Enter Bug page indicates that they only want bugs from
mainline or -mm kernels.  Is sending Fedora kernel bugs up to them a standard
procedure?
Comment 5 Dave Jones 2006-09-14 06:20:22 UTC 
Yes, as we don't carry any patches to reiserfs, so it's extremely likely that
this is an upstream bug.
