Thanks. The blktrace_md0.txt file shows several writes that originate from iscsi_trx so it looks like 'md0' (or some other device that is built on it) is being exported as an iscsi target. Is that correct? There are also some large (1024 sector) writes being generated about once per second. That is very clearly something being written to md0, not something that md0 is doing itself. They are generated by a kworker. It might be iscsi related, but it might be something else. Try disabling the iscsi export and if the strange traffic still appears, collect another blktrace (maybe for a bit longer - 30 seconds?). Also please report output of ls -l /sys/block/md0/holders/ fuser /dev/md0 when the problem is occurring. NeilBrown
