I applied the 1.0.1-rc2 patch to a clean 2.4.9 kernel tree and was
able to create a logical volume on top of s/w RAID 1 without any
trouble. However, a bonnie++ run on an ext2 (or ext3) filesystem on
the logical volume caused the system to lock up, with kswapd going
uninterruptible. I suspect a VM (rather than LVM) problem, as a
similar lock-up occurred on another system with 2.4.8 kernel and no
LVM. We've reverted to kernel 2.4.7 on both systems and had no
problems since.
