Just a short followup: I've yet to be able to replicate the kernel crash. I added some 400GB disks, split them into two 200GB partitions each, built a 4-part RAID6, added a fifth partition and started a reshape, then started some disk IO (both reads and writes). So far, nothing bad has happened, even with a bad disk in the mix (though perhaps that's masking the issue in a bizarre way). I may make another attempt using one partition on all the disks instead of two, but I'm not terribly optimistic that this will result in the crash. So I am afraid that my likeliest next step is to watch the next time I need to grow the ''real'' RAID6 where this happened the first time. At least this time I will have netconsole working if it does happen again, and will be able to make a more informed report. --keith -- kkeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
