I've been trying to reproduce this today. I've set up two different KVM guests on two different hosts, and run trinity on both, and I can't seem to get this warning to pop. Could you share what trinity command-line options you're using? Any other special setup I should be considering to reproduce it? I was hoping to get it to reproduce so I could test out potential memory barrier fixes... -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
