I have a Compaq SmartArray 5312 on 2.4.21, the array has a ReiserFS partition on it. Whenever there is a lot of disk activity on the drive, it freezes. Any access to the drive (ls, for instance) sticks. Other than that, the system works fine (oh, and I can't remotely reboot, I have to cycle the power). The drive is about 400 gigs, 7 drives into one huge partition. The problem has persisted from bf2.4 to 2.4.19 through .21
The problems seem to be a bit random. I can't predict when cp will cause the drive to hang, but its always with a lot data being copied or moved. There are no errors in any logs. What happened this time: I moved 11G of data from a user's account to the larger drive. This hung it. Any access to that hangs the drive. ls on my home dir (/home/laurichj) hangs, but ls ~/tmp/ doesnt (this is because I have a symlink to the drive in my account). However, two days before I had moved around 8G to the drive with no problem. The drive is ~14% full. After hours of searching, I am no better off than when I started. I am thinking maybe its an issue with ReiserFS and cciss, and I'm the only one using ReiserFS on a 5312.... Anyone have any ideas on where I can look for help? Thanks for any help, I'm not subscribed to the list so could I get cc'd? -- ---------------------------- | Josh Lauricha | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Bioinformatics, UCR | |--------------------------| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
