Hello,
I have two Promise SATA TX4 cards connected to a total of 6 Maxtor 250 GB
drives (7Y250M0) configured into a RAID 5. All works well with small
disk load, but when a large number of requests are issued, it causes crash
similar to the attached, except that the errors before the crash are on a

Okay - so I see I'm not the only one to see significant slowdowns in 2.6.11.x
compared to 2.6.10 - guess I'll have to wait until the 4-level table thing
sorts itself out...

The 4-level page tables slowdowns don't explain the problems you
are seeing.

There are two approaches to fixing this.

Below is an experimental 2.6.11.5 kernel patch that implements the
following:
- A generic mechanism for safely passing information from NMI handlers
to code that executes outside NMI context.
- A message queue implementation that allows NMI handlers to queue
messages for

Hi. We're doing some checking on Linux file systems and found
what appears to be a bug in the Linux 2.6.11 implementation of
ext3: when ftruncate shrinks a file, using a file descriptor
opened with O_SYNC, the file size is not updated synchronously.
I've appended a test program that illustrates

Hi,
I recently had a similar problem, but with a netgear-wg511t
However, a kind gentleman called [EMAIL PROTECTED] supplied with me a patch that
solved the problem.
Not sure if it will work with your card, but you can always try.
You should find it on this list,

encfs is not cryptoloop - please follow the URL.

Ok, one more try... This time my email client is set to "no word-wrap".
Now the patch should apply cleanly. Sorry about the mistake...

If you're using urandom to move "a lot" of data, you're using it
wrong. That's not what it is supposed to be for; I can't think of
