Actually, even simpler approach:

Well first of all the sg driver needs to be updated
Just tested it with a plain 2.4.0-test9-pre5 kernel and the problem is now
fixed.
Thanks to all involved,

Hi,
I've found and fixed the deadlocks in the new VM. They turned out
to be single-cpu only bugs, which explains why they didn't crash my
SMP tesnt box ;)
They have to do with the fact that processes schedule away while
holding IO locks after waking up kswapd. At that point kswapd
spends its ti

Indeed, and I sent a patch to do so about 4 weeks after LSF was in the
kernel, but nothing happened so far. ("Hey, the -s option suddenly works ;

Hi,
It seems that it's fairly easy to get a ramfs stuck:
# mkdir bar
# mount -t ramfs bar bar
# umount bar
# mount -t ramfs bar bar
# chown nobody bar
# umount bar
umount: /root/bar: device is busy
#
This doesn't appear to affect ext2 filesystems, though.

Heh. yeah.
That's all I was realy trying to point out. the fact that it was
broken. I got around the problem by prepending ../block/ to lv.c and
lv-snap.c in md/Makefile.
but whatever, like Jan said...

I can't figure out why i can't login to X as user with the latest kernels

Yes, I know. I'm not arguing about the right location for lvm. But
Hello!
It seems as if linux 2.2.17 is calculating a strange value for my bogomips
value. I thought is was supposed to be somewhere near the processor
speed. Perhaps I am missing something?
Have a nice day ;)

LVM and MD have nothing common. They're two completly orthogonal piece of code
(you can put LVM on top of MD but that's just because of the nice reentrance of
the blkdev API
Hi Vincent,
I have the same Problem on a Proliant 2500 and my Workstation
with a 3Com 3c509. Different Settings on the Network-Cards could
be the Problem (i.e. Half vs. Full-Duplex).
