| |
I have one IDE disk: /dev/hda1: ext2, root /dev/hda2: swapspace
if I run the following commands, the filesystem becomes unusable:
# swapoff /dev/hda2 # swapon /dev/hda1 #<<< NOT A TYPO, really /dev/hda1
The second call does fails, but afterwards ll_rw_block printk()'s:
"device /dev/hda1: only 4096-char blocks implemented (1024)".
I must reboot and fsck afterwards, even SysRq doesn't sync/unmount.
Could someone check that this really crashes Linux? (2.2.4, no special patches.) I currently don't have enough time to fix this myself.
