Has there been any progress on this? I think I saw it, or something similar, during some testing of recent 2.6.23-rc kernels, on mke2fs took about 11 min longer than all the others (~2 min) and it was not repeatable. I worry that process of more interest will have the same hang.
Well, I must say: no. I haven't tried anything further. I've set up the production system a week or so ago which runs Debian Etch with no modifications (kernel 2.6.18 I think, the debian one and a mdadm 2.5.6-9). I didn't notice the problem while creating the raid but that doesn't mean anything as I didn't pay attention
and as I wrote earlier it isn't reliably reproducable. (Watching it on a large storage gets boring very fast.)
I'm not a kernel programmer but I can test another kernel or mdadm version if it helps, but let me know
if you want me to do that. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
