You haven't told us what your RAID device on dm-3 is composed of (i.e., what are the underlying devices). And there were no OOPS or BUG or WARN messages in your dmesg? > PS: Writing to disk from jbd2/dm-3-8 still active (iotop shows it still on top of I/O activity). I'm not sure if your kernel has trace debugging enabled, or if you have debugfs mounted, but try this: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/jbd2/jbd2_run_stats/enable cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe If these commands don't work try running this command and see if it works then: mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug Let us know if you see jbd2 activity. It's possible that sync isn't returning because some process is still writing to the file system, and if I recall correctly, Linux 3.2 didn't have some of the sync livelock fixes that could cause sync to not return until the file system had actually quieted down completely.
