Hi list, while testing ceph cluster and using XFS as the underlying filesystem, i've seen xfs blocking tasks several times. Kernel: 3.0.30 plus a patch labeled "xfs: don't wait for all pending I/O in ->write_inode" you (Christoph) send me some month ago. INFO: task ceph-osd:3065 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
