I wonder how that could happen, in the middle of heavy IO operations. Possibly a memory scribble. I'd suggest you enable CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. You could also try switching from CONFIG_SLAB to CONFIG_SLUB, then enable CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
