Us too! We're stuck trying to build a disk server with several disks in a raid5 array, and the rsync from the old machine stops writing to the new filesystem. It only happens under heavy IO. We can make it lock without rsync, using 8 simultaneous dd's to the array. All IO stops, including the resync after a newly created raid or after an unclean reboot. We could not trigger the problem with ext3 or reiser3; it only happens with xfs. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
