I had an issue where a failing drive which generated SATA hotplug events caused the whole I/O subsystem to deadlock. Jack Wang on the gluster-users mailing list identified the problem as a regression, and gave me a patch which has successfully fixed it: http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2012-September/011355.html However, I see this patch is not in mainline kernel yet. Has any progress been made towards this, e.g. including it in subsystem maintainer's tree? Thanks, Brian. P.S. Original problem description at http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2012-September/011354.html The issue is now also recorded at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049013 since it exists in Ubuntu kernel 3.2.0-30 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
