Thanks very much for the responses so far all! @Nix > That's a kernel bug, probably a deadlock. *Definitely* try a newer > kernel, 4.14.3 (the latest) if possible. I bet this is fixed by I tried updating the kernel, bumped to "4.12.5-041205-generic" first but still no dice. @002, @Phil > This feature generally shouldn't be used, because its implementation is > unfinished.

I am currently running "badblocks -v /dev/sde1 > sde1.badsectors.txt" and "badblocks -v /dev/sdf1 > sdf1.badsectors.txt" to see what that comes back with.

This is uncharted (and slightly scary) territory for me. -- 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
