How did I try it, or how no joy? ;)
On the former, I didn't run any really exhaustive tests, and Alan
didn't suggest using or avoiding certain options. I built a relatively
conservative kernel and then beat on all four drives with concurrent dd's.
I also did an hdparm -tT. hdparm killed the box in a matter of a second
or two. dd took about 30 seconds. It seems safe to assume that hdparm
is able to create a higher load.
On the latter, the box just freezes up solid. No magic SysRq, no nothing.
A very frustrating state to try and troubleshoot. Any suggestions?
