There's a bunch of places it could be (any ret = foo followed by a break will exit with that ret rather than oops). Possibly relevant is that this generally occurs while building a rootfs in a tmpfs chroot, which gets fairly sizeable (~2gb, on a machine with 8gb ram). The previous trace I posted occurred after the tmpfs was tarred and unmounted, while the tarball was being written out to a usb card reader, which seems like an odd time for an overly huge tmpfs to cause trouble. I've adjusted the job to not use the tmpfs for now, so the chroot is on btrfs (combined with libeatmydata in order to continue to build images in 40 minutes rather than 4 hours; dpkg). We'll see if that makes a difference. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
