This is not a raid problem. It is a problem with your filesystem or your hardware. I think you have reported this for both reiserfs and ext3, in which can it is unlikely to be the filesystem. I guess it could be in the generic block layer... > > FS is EXT3. > Kernel 2.6.8.1 (problem occured with 2.6.7, update didn't helped) > CPU: Pentium II 400 > Mainboard: Asus P2B-S > > After 29% usage, I've got an Kernel oops and system stalls: > -------- snip start ------------- > Aug 27 16:30:18 gharb kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device > Aug 27 16:30:18 gharb kernel: md0: rw=1, want=6917529027856096120, > limit=241215360 6917529027856096120 is 600000000CD0DB78 in hex. 0xCD0DB78 is 215014264 which is not beyond the end of the device. It looks like 2 extra bits have been set at the top of the address. This could be due to bad memory (though that is more commonly a single-bit error, not a double bit error), or it could be the filesystem send a bad request, possibly due to bad indexing information that has previously been stored on disk. I recommend running memtest for a while and confirming that it isn't a hardware error, and then possibly following up on linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx NeilBrown - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
