Following the lead from ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), I edited
/usr/src/linux/drivers/block/md.c, and changed the TWO occurrances of
"current->priority = 0" to "current->priority = 1", and resync started
working just fine. As a nice side effect, I can reboot the system cleanly
now (was hanging up waiting for the resync process to die off)
System:
RedHat 5.2 installation, upgraded to 2.2.9 kernel, knfsd 1.4.1 (with
nfsd-2.2.7-3.patch and linux-2.2.7-sunrpc.patch), raidtools-0.90,
raid0145-19990421-2_2_6 patch.
RAID-5 on 4 8.7G SCSI drives.
The resync process took about 90 minutes to get to 100%, and seems to be
happy now. "ps lax | grep raid" shows the nice level at 19 now (instead of
20).
