If I had a test system on which I could try that, I would. Unfortunately, the affected machine is the production server. VMware (used for testing) is not affected by this bug. Regards, Rudi On Sat, Oct 10, 2009 at 8:45 PM, maximilian attems wrote: > >>[...] > > test a newer one from backports.o

Here's an update. With an Ubuntu Live CD (using 2.6.24) I could mount the raid sets and recover just some data without issues. I rebuild the system using Ubuntu with a 2.6.24 kernel.

FYI: My system died on FS corruption. Did not notice this because mdadm did not report any errors. I noticed it because the system started to lock up. After a reboot, it did a fsck (which segfaulted) and the system hung afterwards. The system behaviour seems like this kernel bug describes: http://

Hello, Here's an update. I replaced the Promise Controller with a Sil3124 based controller. The soft-lockups appear to have gone, however now the behaviour changed. I receive netdev watchdog alerts for my Via Rhine based NIC's and SATA bus resets on all four drives under heavy load (resync for exa

Giulio, I am not using the VIA boards IDE/SATA controller, only a PCI based HostRaid controller from promise. The onboard controller is actually a SATA and IDE controller: I just set it up to not use SATA due to boot problems with the Promise card if the onboard SATA support is enabled. As of tod

I have not been able to reproduce the problem on my testbox (Since I test this onder VMware, hardware is not comparable to the production machine). I did update the kernel with the newer version in te repositories (Now running linux-image-2.6.26-1-686, 2.6.26-13lenny2) but the problem still exists.
