I'm sorry.. but I don't know how you guys tested this, but using a bare-bones configuration with the NFS translator and a mirror configuration between two systems (no performance translators, etc.) I can lock up the entire system after writing 160-180megs of data. Basically: dd if=/dev/full of=testfile bs=1M count=1000 is enough to lock the entire machine. This is on a CentOS 5.4 system with a xen backend (for testing). I don't know what you guys tested with, but I can't get this stable... at all. Justice London jlondon at lawinfo.com On Thu, 2010-03-18 at 10:36 -0600, Tejas N.
