Hi Jens, Martin, Vojtech,
I have a flaky IDE subsystem in one box. Reads work fine, writes sometimes don't work and hang either IDE/block device sybsystem or entire box. For example, I dumped ~40 MB file to the disk and now I have additional power led (i.e. hdd activity led is constantly on) and a bunch of "D" state processes (kupdated, mount, umount).
This is happening since I decided to try 2.5.7. 2.4.18 reported DMA failures and reverted to PIO.
I did send a detailed report of similar event with ksymoopsed stack traces of hung prosesses to lkml.
Since you are working on IDE subsystem, I will be glad to *retain* my flaky IDE setup and test future kernels for correct operation in this failure mode.
Please inform me whenever you want me to test your patches. -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
