Hi, since the two patches (stripe_width and sector_t cast) didnt help, I started to put printk in the dm-stripe code. At a certain point stripe_map() starts to get called with zero data (eg bio->bi_sector = 0 or 2^32, 2^31 ). This lead me to put some debugging into dm.c especially into max_io_len() where an inline function dm_round_up() is used. Interpreting my printk's this funktion doesnt work well with offsets larger then 2^32. I did some (very) ugly hack to calculate the boundary in that case and it seems that the error is gone (though the full check takes a few days). Maybe someone with insight on what should happen in dm.c can have a look at max_io_len and the inlined function?
