Result with origin volume on new pv/vg/lv was same, namely: kcopyd.c BUG
at line 145 & oops.
Is there something else I can provide to assist in diagnostics?
hmmm- I thought I might simplify my test environment by removing all
older lvm devices, so I pulled disks containing 3 other pv's. Then I was
getting another scsi read error so I pulled that disk (<heh> I have a 9-
disk NAS I'm playing on, in case anyone's wondering)
Then after reboot, and rerun of my test procedure, I still get the same
behavior --except that it now seems to lockup hard -- no ssh, no ping,
no console scrollback, no keyboard (although sysrq works), no
dmesg/syslog output. There *is* console screen output, ending with what
looks like the trailing part of the oops calltrace. Is it worth
configuring a serial console in order to capture this? (Or can someone
tell me how to capture it otherwise?)
Regards.
