Hi,

Sorry i've not clarified it on my post to linux-raid, only to 
lkml[0].I've seen two oops
and the kernel BUG (posted to lkml), and already comented here by 
Christoph, only
when i run the rsync clients against the rsync server running on this 
machine storing
files on a linear array. I can try to reproduce it again to post the 
oops (one using xfs
and the later with ext3) here, but i was hoping that someone have 
already hit that.

By the way...Christoph can you give more details about that patch? Was 
it merged
on some kernel already released, i haven't checked it. Isn't strange 
that a similar
problem can be seen using ext3? FYI, at the moment i'm running on a 
partition without
raid linear, only xfs and in two days i'll report if the heavy i/o load 
breaks it again or not.
It seems that i've reached more than one bug through this process.
