Segmentation fault
isn't that a bit strange that reiserfs and xfs doesn't handle it, but jfs does
It could just be lucky that JFS works, depending on access patterns.
and the one with ext2 :
[root svetljo mnt]# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/myData/SRC mke2fs 1.22, 22-Jun-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 786432 inodes, 1572864 blocks 78643 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 48 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736
Writing inode tables: Segmentation fault
Then it is definitely not anything to do with the filesystem itself (although it may be with the XFS patch). Try a kernel without the XFS patch and see if this makes a difference. Maybe it is a bad interaction between XFS, RAID, LVM?
