Ext4 flush blocked

    Hi,

    I'm using a mmap-intensive file server on a Dell Machine with 2.6.35.13.

    The partition is a RAID-0 mounted with ext4 and noatime.

    After a while using (about an hour) I get a lot of:

INFO: task flush-8:16:6650 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

    The hardware is:

02:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E
PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)

    The machine is RAID-0 with 2 450GB SAS 15K RPM hard drives.

    Is there any other info I can provide you to help track this bug down?

    Cheers,
