I am running 2.0.1 with David M-T's patch. I have seen several problems while accessing (for writes) my Quantum Fireball 1GB disk, which is my faster disk of my two 1 GB drives. Mostly, I have been using the Segate Hawk drive, which is slightly slower than the Fireball.
Anyway, here is the first problem. I was performing an image backup like so:
dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 bs=256k (Hawk) (Fireball)
Eventually, I would get the following panic:
Aiee: scheduling in interrupt fffffc00003aa7ac
Which if I can read my handwriting properly is inside get_request_wait. Changing the blocks size to 128KB also paniced, and 8 MB (I just went way large) worked.
I also saw a hard hang (no response to anything but reset) when I ran a mk2efs on the Fireball.
