2.4.14 cpqarray eepro100 ext3

2.4.14 cpqarray eepro100 ext3

[Brugier Pascal]

Hi

I'm not on the mailling list can you CC'ed the answers/comments
posted to the list in response to my posting? thank you.

I have a Compaq Prolient DL 360, 1 PIII 1 GHz, 2 scsi hd in Raid 1
2 ethernet controlers eepro100 (only one is used) and ext3 fs.

The server hangs when (it seems) we want to read or cp big 
file (140 Mo).

The computer is not near me but, i know that the kernel screem 
on the console:

Invalid operand 00000 (i'm not sur about thenumber of 0 because
someone else read for me and doesn't remember)

I found on the internet that their is problem whith 2.4.14 and 
cpqarray.

I want to know if it's true and if the problem is now out whith 
other versions ?


Excuse-me for my bad english and thank you very much.

Best regards

Hi 

Remember i'm not on the mailing list, pleased CC'ed answer to my 
message, thank you.

I've best informations:

I've 4 partitions on the server

When  i want to edit a file: /var/log/mylogdir/mylogfile (140 Mb)
the server hangs whith this messages:

If i want to copy /var/log/mylogdir/mylogfile

Kernel saya:

###############

After writing this message i will downgrad to a 2.4.13 which is patched
for ext3 and runnig whithout any problem on an other server whith the 
same hardware. The difference between the 2 servers is that the
2.4.14's one is running on Raid 1 and the 2.4.13 on Raid 5.

I hope i give you enought informations .

Thanks a lot

I make a mistake: it is: /dev/ida/c0d0p1

It is /dev/ida/c0d0p2

It is /dev/ida/c0d0p3

It is /dev/ida/c0d0p4

I did it, it works fine, i made the same tests and there was no
problems.I read the changelog on kernel.org, and i saw that a
modification was made on cpqarray module, i think there will be a
problem with this module (it's an idea, i'm a newby ;-) )

Thanks a lot

Hi 

I'm sur now that it's not a memory problem, i downgrad to 2.4.13
and everything work fine.

I'll send a new mail with more explications to the list (now i'd

of course).
