2007-07-31 22:56:16 Joseph Fisk title large files become temporarily corrupt opteron amd64 data corruption
2007-08-01 04:48:23 Joseph Fisk bug added attachment 'cpuinfo-and-dmesg.txt' (dmesg and /proc/cpuinfo)
2007-08-02 18:33:26 Joseph Fisk description Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-28-amd64-server When trying to load a large (5GB) sql file into mysql, mysql errors out, segfaults, or the entire system locks up hard. In the error or segfault case, examining the input file at the location where mysql crashed reveals corruption that wasn't present before trying to load into mysql. Rebooting the system seems to remove the corruption. The corruption doesn't appear unless mysql attempts to load the file. The file is set to read-only. This is happening on a dual dual-core opteron system with 8GB registered/ecc memory running up-to-date LTS. It also happens on another nearly identical system running up-to-date LTS. Both can run memtest with no errors (the first ran for almost 70 passes before I stopped it). It does not happen on a third nearly identical system which is running out-of-date Breezy Badger (w/64 bit kernel). I started a thread about this problem at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3101571 , but another user suggested it was turning into a bug report. Some more background info is available there. Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-28-amd64-server md5sum returns inconsistent results when run repeatedly on a large text file stored on a linux software (md) raid1 volume. This is not the iommu issue experienced by other amd64 users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/128568 However, this system did experience the iommu issue and is currently running with iommu=soft as a workaround. This is happening on a dual dual-core opteron system with 8GB registered/ecc memory running up-to-date LTS. The system ran memtest86 for over 75 passes with no errors. I started a thread about this problem at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3101571 , but another user suggested it was turning into a bug report. Some more background info is available there.
