Re: [BUG] heavy disk access sometimes freezes 2.5.73-mm[123]

[Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>]

Hi Barry,
How repeatable are the freezes? Would you be able to get a new
kernel, and capture a sysrq-T trace once the system has frozen?
Then would you try booting with elevator=deadline and see if you
can get it to freeze?

Thanks
Nick
