From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andrew Morton Subject: scsi in 2.5.48 Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 01:14:13 -0800 Sender: linux-scsi-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <3DD8AF65.BF2EF851@digeo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Id: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org To: lkml , linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org Appears to be DOA. Just a simple mke2fs hangs in get_request_wait(). Running an `ls -lR' against an IDE disk gets it going again. Seems that the driver is failing to call into the elevator to fetch more requests. The unplug activity from the IDE reads is sufficient to keep the SCSI driver limping along. The driver is aic7xxx.
