Aside: I saw what seems to be the same error twice yesterday in a setup without dcrypt, but running bonnie++ on a software RAID6 array (12 drives) The tasks affected were "kworker" and "xfsaild" - full logs below. OS is stock ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 server. Write performance to the RAID6 is admittedly pretty terrible, so maybe it was just some backlog building up. Regards, Brian. ...
