Comment 26 for bug 208551

Martin,

Hope this doesn't repeat.

If you’re willing to help a newbe, I am willing to test this on my fresh intrepid install. I have a very similar system as described above showing the same kind of problems. I posted my problems in another bug (147464) but after reading this bug, I think this is closer to what I am seeing.

I have a ferash install of 8.10 (mythbuntu). I was able to stop this problem, but only if I set rsize=8092 in fstab. This killed throughput! I finally reformatted the array to ext3 and that fixed the problem. Right now I have been testing the array with JFS and so far have not had the system lock up.

I followed the instruction to enable proposed, but I don’t know what I need to update to test this fix. I am willing to any testing you need, my system is not a production system and there is no important data on the machine.

Tony
