Created: Nov 16, 2016 Updated: Feb 13, 2017

Resolved Date: Nov 27, 2016

Previous ID: LIN8-5118

Found In Version: unknown

Severity: Standard

Component/s: Kernel, Userspace

Description

Do not use xfs crc32 on big endian system, i.e. PPC.

Workaround

Disable crc checking can make it work:
mkfs -t xfs -m crc=0 /dev/loop0

Steps to Reproduce

Mount xfs with crc32 enabled on big endian system:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/block_file bs=1024 count=20480
# losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/block_file
# mkfs -t xfs /dev/loop0
# mkdir -p /mnt/xfs
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/xfs
