Hi all, I just experienced some kind of lockup accessing my 8-drive raid5 (2.6.16-rc4-mm2). The system has been up for 16 days running fine, but now processes that try to read the md device hang. ps tells me they are all sleeping in get_active_stripe. There is nothing in the syslog, and I can read from the individual drives fine with dd. mdadm says the state is "active". I'm not sure what to do now. Is it safe to try to reboot the system or could that cause the device to get corrupted if it's hung in the middle of some important operation? Ideas appreciated, /Patrik
