No, there was nothing unusual in the log files. I have no access to the test machine at the moment, but there is a message when the recovery starts, and a few seconds later the message "sync done". | Does it fail consistently for you, or only occasionally? It fails every time. This test was on an dual PIII 450 system, but it also fails on a VIA C6 system with the 2.6.0-test5 kernel. Both kernels are compiled without CONFIG_PREEMPT, because I had other problems that might be related to this option: http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg03507.html Could this be related to CONFIG_DM_IOCTL_V4? I was not sure about this option, and have not enabled it. Otherwise, I think it is time to put in some printk's. Do you have suggestions where to start looking? -- Dick Streefland //// Altium BV dick.streefland@altium.nl (@ @) http://www.altium.com --------------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo---------------------------
