SubjectRe: PROBLEM: Kernel BUG with raid5 soft + Xen + DRBD - invalid opcode
Date
Hello,

Replies below + :
- I don't know if this can help but after the crash, when the system
reboots, the Raid 5 stack is re-synchronizing
[ 37.028239] md10: Warning: Device sdc1 is misaligned
[ 37.028541] created bitmap (15 pages) for device md10
[ 37.030433] md10: bitmap initialized from disk: read 1 pages, set 59
of 29807 bits

- Sometimes the kernel completely crash (lost serial + network
connection), sometimes only got the "BUG" dump, but still have network
access (but a reboot is impossible, need to reset the system).

- You can find blktrace here (while running fio), I hope it's complete
since the end of the file is when the kernel crashed :

Thanks,
MasterPrenium

Yes Correct.
The subvolume doesn't matter.
-- assume-clean doesn't change the behaviour.
Don't forget that the system needs to be running on xen to crash,
without (on native kernel) it doesn't crash (or at least, I was not able
to make it crash).

It doesn't help :(. Maybe the crash is happening a little bit later.
