 With this patch reverted -rc1-mm1 is happily running on my test box.

Yes! Here too. Good work.

 this nash thing is exactly the command which triggers a bit different

 oops vanish in my case. I think Neil is working on it.
 Trying to work on it - not making a lot of progress.  I find it hard to 
 see how anything in md can cause the inode for a block-device file to 
 disappear... It is a bit of a long-shot, but this patch might change 
 things.  It changes the order in which things are de-allocated. Jiri and 
 Jiri: would either of both of you see if you can reproduce the bug with 
 this patch on 2.6.19-rc6-mm2 ???
 Hi Neil,

 sorry to say that, but it's still there after applying your patch.
 
 Not a big surprise, but thanks a lot for testing.  I think I'm going
 to have to try harder to duplicate it myself.

Away from that machine now, so that I can't test anything till thursday.

 If I remember rightly you are using FC - which version exactly?  (I've
 never installed FC before so this is going to be learning experience).

FC6 with latest updates.

 And you have no MD arrays at all - is that correct?

I do have. md1 md2 md3 -- raid0, 1, 0. But there is no md0 (removed in the past)
and 'raidautorun /dev/md0 | nash' causes the troubles.

 And you compile your own kernel.  Is it monolithic, or are you using
 modules?  Do you boot with an initrd or just the kernel?

Yup. Monolithic as much as possible (md is in the kernel and so dm is). / on the
lvm2 on the /dev/md1 with no initrd. All are sata disks, so sd_mod, sata_promise
and ata_piix are in the kernel.

 I'd like to duplicate your installation as closely as possible, so any
 relevant details or recipes would be greatly appreciated.

Hm, I have never seen FC6 installation process, so I can't say what special
option I have turned on -- it's 'yum upgrade'd from FC5, FC4...
