Hi Ojaswin,

If you want to replicate something similar to my setup, I better give you more
info about it, because it's not a desktop computer.

It's a very slow system by current standards and I think it may impact why
there aren't more people complaining about this issue. In Ivan's case it seems
that after a small while, it recovered even with a lot of files. His setup
seems more powerful than mine. In my case pulling a 75MB container with podman
didn't recovered after 2 hours of 100% CPU.

The system has 4G RAM:
# free
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  
available
Mem:         3977448      615760      410332       14580     2951356

Swap:        1564668           0     1564668

The raid1 underlying hardware changed from the 2013 from 1T -> 2T -> 4T HDD.
The file system grew up accordingly. During the step 2T -> 4T disk layout was
converted from MBR to GPT:
# gdisk -l /dev/sdb
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.9

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sdb: 7814037168 sectors, 3.6 TiB
Model: ST4000VN008-2DR1
Sector size (logical/physical): 512/4096 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): CD6E68D9-1A0F-40F7-9755-FDE136159F92
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 33
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 7814037134
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 1537100 sectors (750.5 MiB)

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048      7812502048   3.6 TiB     8300  primary

And again the raid1 md0 partition table:
# gdisk -l /dev/md0
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.9

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/md0: 7812237857 sectors, 3.6 TiB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512/4096 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 46C6A662-69D1-492D-A31F-1121048F9FE3
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 33
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 7812237823

Total free space is 3933 sectors (1.9 MiB)

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048      7812235904   3.6 TiB     8300  Linux filesystem

Last one is the EXT4 filesystem.
