fsck_ufs always exits on signal 11 on a VPS (virtio) with SU+J
HI,
On a VPS machine with virtio drivers, whenever the fsck_ufs is iniated to
check a filesystem
in autoboot that has softupdates journaling SU+J , from /etc/rc.d/fsck the
fsck_ufs exits with SIGNAL 11, and has the very bad consequent, that the
reboot is unable to be completed.
I have to connect the console, press enter at /bin/sh prompt and issue the
fsck /dev/vtbd0s1? by hand.
Of course I have to press 'N' to the prompt of using the journal file.
This
happens on 2 out of 5 partitions every time (on /tmp and on /var, which I
believe carry the most write tasks).
Because it is very annoying for a headless server that should be up 24/7, I
removed all journaling
from all filesystems (tunefs -j disable ...) and from then I do not have any
problem, during the
automatic fsck.
Currently, I cannot do many experiments with this system, because it is a
production server. But if
you have something to propose that wont affect the uptime of it, I could do
it. I will do the 9.2 upgrade
when we have the release (perhaps this fixes it?).
I do not have any other VPS yet, so I cannot do extensive experiments.
I am just informing that something wrong exist with virtio drivers and fsck
journal. On all other
physical servers journaling works as expected.
My system is:
