hello,
sometimes, our server crashed with xfs_log_force: error 5.
It isn't reproducible and a xfs_check / xfs_repair don't find some errors.
Perhaps it's a bug?
Version: Linux version 2.6.26-bpo.1-amd64 (Debian 2.6.26-9~bpo40+1) (nobse@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21
greets
Steffen

Hello!
Look at http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=840
Please provide your dmesg output regarding kernel oops message (maybe
there is similar issue in your case as I had)
It seems that in my case it was a problem of HBA configuration (using
LVM2 and caches) as Christoph Hellwig replied. After proper
configuration I had similar issues still, but last Friday I upgraded HBA
firmware because I've found that there was an issue with cache mode
report (software reported that write caches are disabled but they were
still enabled). I hope this will help in my case - for now I had no
crash. We'll see within next week (it occurs about once a week).
In your case without oops message it's really hard to tell what's wrong.
Best regards,
Tomasz Kruszona

Error 5 is EIO, and xfs_log_force basically passed the error through
from the underlying device. Most likely it is an issue with the
underlying storage device.

Also, just to be semantically correct, it's unlikely that this was a
"server crash" - most likely you got an IO error, xfs noticed it, and
shut itself down for safety.
