My system hangs (in various places, like the resync thread) after commit 79ef3a8. When testing this patch, I also added some code to dm-raid.c to allow me to print-out some of the variables when I encounter a problem. After applying this patch and printing the variables, I see: Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: start_next_window = 12288 Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: current_window_requests = -46 5257 Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: next_window_requests = -11562 Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: nr_pending = 0 Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: nr_waiting = 0 Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: nr_queued = 0 Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: barrier = 1 Sep 2 14:04:15 bp-01 kernel: device-mapper: raid: array_frozen = 0 Some of those values look pretty bizarre to me and suggest the accounting is pretty messed up. brassow -- 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
