Peter Anvin" , Bernd Schubert , "Martin K. Petersen" , Greg Kroah-Hartman , linux-scsi Hello James I used the two most recent debian kernels (3.10 and 3.11) both show this behaviour, both have the same problem Also of course i had a look at both git trees before sending out the email Taking the debian kernel source tree for 3.11-trunk and reverting the patch makes the raid controler work again So this really isn't a fixed problem I believe it should be fixed in 3.12 3.11 and any stable kernel tree around (1 & 1 must have thousands of customers that might run into the problem in short time) Kind regards Christian Bahls [2013-09-22 19:05] James Bottomley wrote: > [cc to linux-scsi added] > On Sun, 2013-09-22 at 16:27 +0200, Christian Bahls - gmail.com wrote: > > Dear all, > > > > Looks like i have been bitten by the above mentioned commit. > > Just from a practical point of view, I only really work upstream, so > this commit id doesn't show anything for me.
