Yep, but that's by OpenVZ, I'm using the Debian kernel, and 2.6.26 is Debian stable, and so supported by the Debian kernel team....

The only stable for now is 2.6.18&  2.6.9 , any other is
outdated/testing http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel . Ongoin start
is 2.6.32 as being new RHEL6 kernel. So i'd suggest you to go down to
.18 or take .32 from backports.

Once RHEL6 and/or Debian6.0 has been out for a few months, I'll probably switch to 2.6.32, but I don't feel sufficiently confident to do that yet (not for OpenVZ boxes anyway - OpenVZ+2.6.32 just hasn't had enough testing-time yet for production IMO) - I also look after plenty of non-openvz 2.6.26 Debian 5.0 boxes, and if this bug is md+lvm+ext3 (which in my semi-educated opinion looks most likely, partly because there have been some similar looking deadlocks reported on non-OpenVZ Debian 5.0 systems), then it'd be preferable to track-down the cause of this and get it fixed....

Cheers,

Tim.
