2012-03-16 Thread Jan Hellevik
I have a problem with my box. The slog started showing errors, so I decided to remove it. I have tried to offline it with the same result. Any ideas? I have offlined the cache device, which happened immediately, but both offline/remove of the slog hangs and makes the box unusable. If I have a
