Subject: md (regression): reboot/shutdown hangs
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:05:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200808282005.09416.alistair@devzero.co.uk> (raw)

Hi Neil,

Commit 2b25000bf5157c28d8591f03f0575248a8cbd900 ("Restore force switch of md 
array to readonly at reboot time.") causes a reboot/shutdown to hang 
indefinitely on my box. Reverting this single commit makes the problem go 
away. It was first released with 2.6.27-rc3, I believe, and so this is a 
regression vs 2.6.26 (Rafael CCed).

I think the problem might be because my rootfs is on a RAID5 and my distro 
fails to stop it completely before halt/reboot.

Please let me know if there's any more information you need from me.

Cheers,
Alistair.
