Bug Description

I have been getting this error under high IO first with Lucid kernel 2.6.32-22-server. Everything was fine when the server was running karmic.

There are plenty of these errors during boot, but they only reappeared doing a RAID5 check. Also using iotop, the check isn't displayed as IO though cat /proc/mdstat shows the drives slowly checking.

Right now it seems to be performance related only, but that is yet to be seen.

Hi James,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Unattended updates updated the kernel and now I cannot reproduce the bug. It is either gone or inconsistent now.

Kernel: 2.6.32-22-server

I still haven't had a recurrence of this bug with this kernel and I've been pushing the system to try too.

@Peter: How did you output your specs like that? Everything I do is much more detailed and not as easy to read.

The actual kernel package is 2.6.32-22.36 and I'm running the x86_64 version.

James,

The output is from a custom script i wrote that uses dmidecode and a bunch of other system tools.

Seems like my problem was due to a lack of power going to the box - I replaced my PSU with a more powerful one and the problem went away.

I hope that you've made some progress too.

Cheers

I have this issue with Ubuntu 10.10 fully updated. I make a update to 11.04 development distribution and it don't solve the issue.

Then I fully reinstall my system except /home (I have two ext4 partitions / and /home). With

Linux steros 2.6.35-23-generic-pae #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:35:46 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

I dont have the issue anymore. I am updating now the packages for see when and the exact package produce the issue, but this is a huge regression, the system it is unusable for the timeouts (20-30 secondw each time).

PS: A note: When a bug is expired without find solution make a bad impression for the reporters that hopes find a response or fix.
