| |
Hi,
A box with a stock 2.6.7 kernel using the Promise SX4 controller (CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4, i.e. libata driver) locks up completely when one of the 2 drives in a raid 1 configuration is removed. I believe this is not how raid 1 is supposed to work. ;-) swap was initially on the drive I removed only (/dev/sdb2), but I also tested this with swap on a raid volume (/dev/md2 = /dev/sdb2 + /dev/sdc2)- the effect is exactly the same in both cases.
The last message seen is: "ata1 DMA timeout", then the console stops working. dmesg output and config.gz available at: http://stuff.geizhals.at/misc/2004-08-04/
Perhaps there is a work-around or this issue can be resolved quickly before one of the drives actually dies...
