RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

screenshot at console via idrac

# Description of problem:

System crashed. I have only a screenshot (attached).

The system has two nfs resources mounted. cachefilesd is used to optimize.   
The data in that mounted dirs is used by the webserver (htdocs).


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

$ rpm -qa | grep cachef
cachefilesd-0.10.2-1.el6.x86_64

$ uname -a
Linux srv-sl0a.ccds.de 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 28 17:19:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

rpm -qa | grep nfs
nfs-utils-lib-1.1.5-6.el6.x86_64
nfs-utils-1.2.3-36.el6.x86_64


# How reproducible:
I can not reproduce it - it just happens today the first time. 
The cachefilesd is setup since 5 days. I hope the screenshot helps.


# Actual results:
Crash

# Expected results:
No crash


# Additional info:
du -h -s /var/cache/fscache/

# nfs mount options

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:05:02 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Hello 

We were testing fs-cache for last 1 week. It paniched with similar traces. 

kernel based on  

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
kernel (2.6.32-431.1.2.el6)


Attaching a screen shot as i was not able to capture vmcore. 

Regards
Ranjith

Leon

Fix is included in RHEL 6.5
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/374553

Please check whether you notice this problem with RHEL 6.5

Ranjith

With reference to your email in linux-cachefs list.. Can you confirm whether you notice the panic when you use the standard RH kernel ?

Comment 7 Leon Fauster 2014-04-04 16:34:54 UTC
So far no problems with EL6.5. Thank you for your input!
