Hi, there!
Can someone please put some light on what happened here:
Short story:
linux kernel 2.6.18 block i/o on file access on reiserfs on raid1.
Long story:
Sorry, for the long mail... I just try to give all details.
On one of our old simple samba file servers, I ran into a
strange problem that programs like slocate, rsync, cp
start to block somewhere in the kernel io when they access files on
reiserfs on /dev/md0.
History:
1. Machine was up for about 200+ days without any problems.
2. On Sept. 05th we had a power outage because a electrician got stuck
somewhere in the cables. :-(
3. Machine rebooted, checked everything, nothing seems to be broken
(not even the electrician).

Comments:
- hda1 is the system /, md0 is the raid1 mounted to /share.
- Harddisks are physically ok, checked with smartctl.
4. starting around Sept. 14th, nightly called slocate started to freeze in
state D. Frozen processes start to cumulate. Nobody realized problems.
Samba access to the machine was possible without problems.
5. Sept. 28th, I got called because the backup process
(rsync from parts of /dev/md0 to external usb hdd) failed...
rsync was also blocked in state D, along with all the dead 14 slocate
processes. Unable to kill these processes.
6. manual rsync to some /tmp/test blocked while it was indexing the
files on /dev/md0 at some unknown location.
7. strace rsync -verbose -... from /dev/md0 to /tmp/test2 hangs also after:
mkdir("/tmp/test2/simulation", 0700) = 0
lstat64("/tmp/test2/simulation", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=40, ...}) = 0
open("simulation", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=384, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 135168, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1 0) = 0xbe7e8e000
getdents64(3,
The cursor just blinks after the (3, _
No reaction to user input.
8. A similar cp froze in the same folder, too.
I got no entries in the kernel log!
9. mounted /dev/md0 readonly (device was busy, of course)
10. reiserfsck /dev/md0 didn't tell any errors
11. shutdown -r now machine to 2.6.18. Log says:

/dev/hda1 had some replayed transactions again!
12. everything works fine again - no chance to reproduce that case.
reiserfsck'ed again without problems.
13. rsync backup from /dev/md0 to external usb hdd went fine.
Some Questions:
- Is that a known bug?
- How can I debug that problem if unknown.
(I can take that machine down for some hours if needed)
- I can change the kernel to i.e. the latest 2.6.22 if there is
no way to debug that thingy and see if it works better.
