Let me ask for a little clarification, please, Aram. Have you migrated such a machine from F11 to F12 (or even F13)? If so, did you wipe the physical volume and re-partition, or did you re-use the old partition scheme? Due to the relative slowness of my (networked) backup device and the amount of data, doing a full restore of the system in question took many hours when I re-did the RAID going from F10 to F11, far more than migrating my desktop, w/ 3 times as much data and hardware RAID (where I simply re-used the existing partitions). By now I have nearly a year more local stuff to bring forward. > ... > In F12 and F13, I have recently experienced bug # 576749. It seems > that an mdraid resync makes the computer unresponsive.
