For testing I stopped the MDRAID and removed one NVMe disk which I cleared and where I created a new ext4 partition. Running $ fsfreeze --freeze /mnt/test returned within seconds and I was unable do any I/O against /mnt/test as expected. I unfreezed the filesystem and started to copy ~50GB to the volume. After waiting 5 minutes and verifying that /proc/meminfo didn't list any 'dirty' pages, I re-run the fsfreeze command which caused the same issue -- system hangs. :/ I will repeat the test with the other NVMe later... So probably a kernel/driver issue or hardware problem. -- Regards, Thomas _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
