Description Peter Fales 2002-10-08 17:27:16 UTC
Description of Problem:

I've debugged two systems in the past week that would not boot into X.  The
problem turned out to be that xfs was not running which in turn was due to 
the file system being out of space.   When starting xfs ("service xfs start")
it responds OK, and the only log messages report successful startup.  There
is no indication that it actually failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How Reproducible: Always



Steps to Reproduce:
1. "service stop xfs"
2. fill up the root file system
3. "service start xfs"
4. "ps -fe |grep xfs"

Actual Results:

xfs is not running

Expected Results:

Either xfs should be running, or "service xfs start" should have reported an 
error.

Known issue already reported in bugzilla.  I'll dupe this
when I find it.  Hoping to fix for next release.
