That's probably more than I would have > expected, but strongly lends evidence to the theory that this is the > problem. actually i think the rate is higher... i'm not sure why, but klogd doesn't seem to keep up with it: root@neemlark:~# grep -c kblockd_schedule_work /var/log/messages 31 root@neemlark:~# dmesg | grep -c kblockd_schedule_work 8192 i don't have CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y ... so i can't read timestamps from dmesg. but cool! if the dmesg spam seems to be a problem i can just comment it out of the patch... i'll let you know if it freezes again. thanks -dean - 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
