Hi Dan, I have question about what ADMA + RAID-5 and disk failure. In the event of disk failure what would happen to the descriptors which are queued up the DMA engine for XOR operation ? This is what I am trying. 1. Create RAID-5 using 4 disks. 2. Install xfs file system and mount it. 3. Force the disk failure using mdadm -f /dev/md0 /dev/sdc 4. Then hot remove the drive mdadm -r /dev/md0 /dev/sdc 5. Un-mount the /dev/md0. Then run file system check using xfs_repair -L /dev/md0. I see messages as shown below. These messages doesn't show up if I don't use ADMA. But there seem to be no data loss. But still I there seem to be a some kind of data inconsistency.
