Re: Data corruption on large, multi-device filesystem

I just thought I would give a quick update on what I have been doing in case
anyone can give me more/better direction.

I incorporated the (sector_t) cast and I also changed stripe_width to sector_t
since my individual devices are bigger than 2TB.

I took lvm out of the equation by using dmsetup and striping together my
devices.  Then I created and mounted and XFS filesystem directly on /dev/dm-0
This still caused corruption.

I have compiled hashdd with largefile support and am now letting it run directly
on /dev/dm-0.  The write finished last night and I am running the read pass now
(man it takes a long time to to write and verify 4+TB)

I have also been putting some debug statements in stripe_map() but this hasn't
shown me anything useful yet.
