1292585366 M * Bertl morning folks!
1292585626 M * hijacker afternoon
1292585857 M * hijacker i had a headless old machine hung yesterday, the syslog last line is "^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
1292585857 M * hijacker ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@" anyone might have seen that before?
1292585903 M * Bertl that is just zero bytes, and 'normal' if you use 'dangerous' journaling options
1292585925 M * Bertl what did the serial console show?
1292585958 P * kir Leaving.
1292586317 M * hijacker i have none
1292586356 M * hijacker no dangerous journaling options are enabled though
1292586401 M * hijacker it might be hardware related
1292586427 M * Bertl what is your filesystem on the device the log is on?
1292586432 M * hijacker recently i enabled phram and started using actively videoram as swap
1292586435 M * hijacker it is ext3
1292586446 M * Bertl what are the mount options shown in /proc/mounts?
1292586481 M * hijacker /dev/root / ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=0,data=writeback 0 0
1292586503 M * Bertl so, there you go, barrier=0,data=writeback
1292586516 M * Bertl that basically means, do not care about data integrity
1292586531 M * hijacker hm
1292586545 M * hijacker i'll change that
1292586556 M * Bertl so when the system locks up, whatever is in the writeback cache is simply lost, despite the fact that the metadata might say otherwise
1292586579 M * Bertl this simply results in (mostly) empty garbage on an append only file
1292586611 M * hijacker as it was with syslog
1292586615 M * hijacker that explains
1292586639 M * hijacker normally there are non io operations on that root fs, except for updating packages, kernel, etc
1292586654 M * hijacker *no

1292589689 M * hijacker Bertl, thanks for that! I am switching to ordered mode for the time being. hopefully if that happens again in the future I will be able to obtain some more sensible info than ^@ ;-)
1292589745 M * Bertl rather unlikely, because if something happens which locks up the kernel, userspace won't get to write it to a log file
1292589792 M * Bertl the best chance to capture kernel issues is via serial console or if that isn't possible via netconsole
1292589849 M * Bertl alternatively, recent kernels can log information to ram, so if you reset instead of power cycle, the information can be retrieved lateron
