I tried the stock 2.6.38-8-server (natty) with 5 drives on an mvsas card, running badblocks simultaneously. They worked for about 10 minutes, but then all 5 had errors similar to those reported above. I tried manjo's kernel (2.6.32-19-generic) and 4 out of 5 survived a full badblocks read. Those four also survived a write cycle, but when the badblocks processes switched to the read (verify) part, IO hung with: mvs_abort_task() mvi=ffff880408dc0000 task=ffff88040941ea80 slot=ffff880408de44b8 slot_idx=x0 errors.
In the past, I have had great success with Andy Yan's patches, but when I applied them to 2.6.38-8-server they made the problems worse, likely because I did the merge badly. I will try re-doing the merge. In the mean time, manjo, could you post your diff so that I can see how you resolved some of the conflicts? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554398 Title: Lucid crash on heavy DB i/o (mvsas?) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
