Wonder if hardware or software is happening, sounds like an mishandled hardware error, but I'm guessing. I have a server with RAID1 and Fedora 2.6.22.14-72.fc6PAE kernel, up 72 days, no problems.


2.6.22 is running fine. The problems are in the 2.6.25 kernel (FC9 and SUSE 11.0)

Given heavy 2.6.25 use, my guess is still that the root cause of this is hardware, and that the change in disk code either triggers the hardware problem, or handles it differently. Are you by any chance running NCQ on your system?

No. This system and the drives pre-date NCQ. I think NCQ is only implemented in SATA and these are IDE drives. Sometime over the weekend, I am going to reload SUSE 11 and try to do some more debugging.

BTW: It's back to 10.3 (kernel 2.6.22) running happily with a VMware server thrashing away at the disks.
