I just tried (again) to upgrade from 2.2.15 to 2.2.16 on my smp-machine.
Now, whenever I try to accces a blockdevice with raid0, I get this error
message:
VFS: grow_buffers: 16384
... in an endless loop, and the only thing I can is is hitting reset. The
16384, incidentally, is the stripe-size of the md device (when I try another
device with 32k strips I get the same message with 32768).
Every access (mount, dd) causes this behaviour.
Even stranger: when I use the md= commandline option for the kernel AND
mount the md device as root device it works fine, i.e. I can boot and
later dd from that device. As soon as I try to access another raid device
I get the same error again, however, the same happens when I try to mount
that md device later (== not as root).
So, in summary: mounting root device on md = fine, doing anything else
on a striped md device = endless kernel loop.
Needless to say, 2.2.15 worked absolutely fine.
Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong? And, even better, a solution?
Thanks a lot!
