[Sam Gill]

 John,


>> module-init-tools      2.4.26

 may need to be updated to the 2.6.x series compatible version.

 Also growisofs -R -J -Z /dev/hdd
 is a disc-at-once command.

 If you have memory or I/O problems or
 a bottleneck anywhere in between, you should not use this method.

 In fact burning the dvd may require _all_ cpu, and
 you are better off leaving the cpu, not doing anything else
 while it is burning.

 The better method, that is a little easier for growisofs to handle
 is to make an image with
 mkisofs first, and then use growisofs
 like: growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=myimage

 do: man mkisofs,
 and it lists how to get our of 8.3 formats

 hope this helps,
  -sam

Re: PROBLEM: Linux 2.6.6 completely locked up. : kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c

If this is an old version of smartd, then this MAY be a bogus message, but
if it's not something is seriously wrong with the disk. You can check by
running smartctl: smartctl -a /dev/hdi

If the system is too unstable to boot, so that you can't run the command
above, then you can run smartctl from a bootable CD.

PROBLEM: Linux 2.6.6 completely locked up. : kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c

[John Rimell]

I've been running linux for years and not seen it lock up like this 
before. It stopped responding to all input. I was in X and mouse froze, 
it stopped responding to all keyboard input including Ctl-alt-F1/2/3/4 
etc and Ctl-atl-Del. I could ping the box from another machine but not 
ssh in.

On Redhat 9 updated with a lot of fedora core 2 bits, I was running X 
using Gnome 2.6 and commands were inputted using gnome-terminal.
It all revolved around using growisofs of dvd+rw-tools-5.17.4.8.6-2. I 
have a Ricoh MP5125A that I recently installed and is allocated /dev/hdc 
(with symbolic link /dev/dvd pointing to it)
I have just started trying to write to it using growisofs.
It worked the first time using the command growisofs -Z /dev/dvd <files>
But I noticed that the filenames were getting changed to a 8.3 format, 
so I tried again using... growisofs -J -R -Z /dev/dvd
That failed and returned an error message that I don't remember and 
wasn't logged :(
 From that point on, the light on the front of the DVD drive was lit up 
as if it was in use.
The drive refused to eject as if the drive was mounted, but it was not 
and umount simply would say the drive was not mounted (I don't really 
think it was).
I tried to mount the drive but mount seg faulted!
In a last attempt to get something to communicate with the drive I tried 
a growisofs -M /dev/dvd <files>  (try to add more files to the disc)
At that point, linux crashed. complete system freeze. The screen stayed 
the same, but the mouse was frozen along with everything else.

Now for the good news. I got a load of log data in my /var/log/messages. 
I can't be clear as to what command caused what messages, but ignore all 
the smartd stuff on the other drive.
