The first 2 problems aren't real problems (modify /etc/fstab, perhaps a special ioctl could be added to raid and fsck stops the reconstruction) - at most anoying, but clearly no bugs. But the third one could be a bug: > > Third problem: > > I just tried boot 2.4.3 today. (after an unclean shutdown) fsck runs > at a crawl on my RAID-1 volume.

Can you boot without the raid-1 volume? Run top/vmstat during the fsck+reconstruction - I assume the system runs out of memory and bdflush/kswapd are looping. -- Manfred - 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/
