Now I tried to test as much of the configuration that did not work for me. The current testsystem is a bit different from the original though, as that was with Maxtor Pro 500 disks, and the current one Maxtor MaxLine10 disks. Also the kernel was 2.6.16-rc3, and now is 2.6.16-rc6. I do: mdadm -C -l5 -n8 /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 \ /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1 mke2fs -j -m1 /dev/md0 mount -o data=writeback /dev/md0 /mnt for i in `seq 10` do dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.$i bs=1024k count=10000 done md5sum bigfile.* rm bigfile.* With plain 2.6.16-rc6 the system crashes during one of the md5sums, most of the time the first or the second file. I've lost the last line on netconsole, but will reproduce with 2.6.16. With 2.6.16-rc6 and your sata_mv patch the system also crashes during one of the md5sums, most of the time the first or the second file. There is no output on netconsole. 2.6.16-rc6-mm2 seems to work, which I did not expect.. -- Humilis IT Services and Solutions http://www.humilis.net - 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/ | ||||||||||||
