Bug#517748: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 System locks up under heavy disk load (MD Resync e.g.)
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://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11328
mdadm reports both arrays as healthy, but secretly all data was being
corrupted. Maybe add a reference to this bug? I know this bug is
directed at the HPT driver, however due to the similarities in the
problems it could be a bigger, underlying, problem.
I'm going to try and rebuild the system using a 2.6.24 kernel since
that is the last kernel which did not report data corruption problems
when using with mdadm.
