Message-ID: <4F67BC0A.5000706@hoyle.me.uk> (raw)

I looked at the changelogs for 3.2.x and couldn't see anything that
obviously related to this issue - hence posting on this (slightly old)
thread, since I can't find any followup.  I've downgraded to 2.6.32
(last debian kernel available, since they don't seem to keep historical
kernels around) for now, which is running solidly.

I get it when I'm writing large files over nfs - exactly the same
symptoms as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, followed by nfsd going
into D state and things generally going downhill from there.

Started when I upgraded to 3.1.0 and continued up to 3.2.0.  fsck shows
no errors on the disk, but the logs fill up with
ext4_mb_generate_buddy:739 errors anyway.

Same setup here - md, but no lvm.  Another non-raid drive doesn't show
the same symptoms, if it's any help.

nb:  Some logs, FWIW.  As mentioned above, fsck says there are no errors
on the drive:

..etc.  They don't vary much.  A few thousand of these in rapid succession.
