OK fair enough.
Here is a rollup of the 3 patches that are supposed to help with
the problem. It is diffed against 2.6.10-rc1-bk8, which you probably
wouldn't want to run either.
Not sure how cleanly it will apply onto 2.6.9... shouldn't be too bad
I think.
I'm actually running a reasonably recent BK pull of 2.6.10-rc1 as of a couple of days ago, but I did
some pretty severe testing and evaluation with my raid disks removed and replaced with spares before
I let it loose on the real media. I have applied those patches and I'll beat on it for a few hours
and see how it goes. I have some pretty defined cron jobs that make it easy to reproduce.
Regards,
Brad
