Revision e6da7c9fed111ba1243297ee6eda8e24ae11c384 authored by Eric Sandeen on 23 May 2009, 19:30:12 UTC, committed by Felix Blyakher on 02 June 2009, 03:59:38 UTC
In the case where growing a filesystem would leave the last AG
too small, the fixup code has an overflow in the calculation
of the new size with one fewer ag, because "nagcount" is a 32
bit number.  If the new filesystem has > 2^32 blocks in it
this causes a problem resulting in an EINVAL return from growfs:

 # xfs_io -f -c "truncate 19998630180864" fsfile
 # mkfs.xfs -f -bsize=4096 -dagsize=76288719b,size=3905982455b fsfile
 # mount -o loop fsfile /mnt
 # xfs_growfs /mnt

	swsusp/S3 tricks
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>

If you want to trick swsusp/S3 into working, you might want to try:

* go with minimal config, turn off drivers like USB, AGP you don't
  really need

* turn off APIC and preempt

* use ext2. At least it has working fsck. [If something seems to go
  wrong, force fsck when you have a chance]

* turn off modules

* use vga text console, shut down X. [If you really want X, you might
  want to try vesafb later]

* try running as few processes as possible, preferably go to single
  user mode.

* due to video issues, swsusp should be easier to get working than
  S3. Try that first.

When you make it work, try to find out what exactly was it that broke
suspend, and preferably fix that.
