I’ll see whether I can make this trigger (reliably) before I run out of RAM. If I do, I’ll have to see. >> However, I could take the hot spare and run a sequence of tests >> against that, first with a newer and potentially with an older >> kernel if it doesn’t reproduce in its final form: > > That's one option of course. > >> - xfs directly on the nvme drive >> - xfs on encrypted nvme drive >> - xfs on raid 1 on nvme drive, split into two partitions >> - xfs on raid 5 on nvme drive, split into a few partitions >> - xfs on raid 6 on nvme drive, split into a few partitions >> - repeat the tests with raid1/5//6 with encrypted partitions > > That's an awesome test setup to run through and might take a bunch of > time.

I currently have a specific fileset that I’m using here, I hope I can replicate it with a different fileset at some point … -_- >> As that will take some time and effort, I’d like to double check >> whether that sounds sensible to you as well? > > I'd probably just do the RAID6 tests first, get them out of the way.
