Re: 2.6.24-rc6 reproducible raid5 hang

Subtitle: Patch to mainline yet?

Hi

I don't see evidence of Neil's patch in 2.6.24, so I applied it by hand
on my server.

Was that the correct thing to do, or did this issue get fixed in a different way that I wouldn't have spotted? I had a look at the git logs but it was not obvious - please pardon my ignorance, I'm not familiar enough with the code.

Many thanks,

Tim

This has been corrected already, install Neil's patches. It worked for
several people under high stress, including us.

Hi

I just coerced the patch into 2.6.23.14, reset /sys/block/md1/md/stripe_cache_size to default (256) and rebooted.

I can confirm that after 2 hours of heavy bashing[1] the system has not hung. Looks good - many thanks. But I will run with a stripe_cache_size of 4096 in practise as it improves write speen on my configuration about 2.5 times.

Cheers

Tim
