Yep, but that's by OpenVZ, I'm using the Debian kernel, and 2.6.26 is 
Debian stable, and so supported by the Debian kernel team....

Once RHEL6 and/or Debian6.0 has been out for a few months, I'll probably 
switch to 2.6.32, but I don't feel sufficiently confident to do that yet 
(not for OpenVZ boxes anyway - OpenVZ+2.6.32 just hasn't had enough 
testing-time yet for production IMO) - I also look after plenty of 
non-openvz 2.6.26 Debian 5.0 boxes, and if this bug is md+lvm+ext3 
(which in my semi-educated opinion looks most likely, partly because 
there have been some similar looking deadlocks reported on non-OpenVZ 
Debian 5.0 systems), then it'd be preferable to track-down the cause of 
this and get it fixed....

Cheers,

Tim.
