https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42872 Summary: fstat()/ext3_iget() sometime takes over 2 minutes... Product: File System Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.3.0-rc5 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: ext3 AssignedTo: fs_ext3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: petr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Hello, few weeks ago I've changed my watchdog script to also do some I/O, to verify that not only processes can be scheduled, but also filesystem is working. And since then my system reboots once a day, when updatedb is running :-( Today I was watching it, and first kernel said that find is stuck in ext3_iget() for over 2 minutes, while processing mounted 2.8TB filesystem, then box rebooted... Is it expected that fstat() can take over 2 minutes, and so my 60 seconds limit for writing 26 bytes (current time) to a file on / filesystem is hopelessly optimistic (/ filesystem and filesystem on which find generated message below are two separate filesystems), or is there something wrong?
