Description Nick (Gunnar) Bluth 2002-09-03 12:28:27 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux)

Description of problem:
Doing some experiments with the SAN here. After seeing that syncing 2 RAID 1's simultaneously is very slow, I wanted to speed things up a bit and did a raidstop /dev/md0
Result: kernel panic (see attachment)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make two RAID 1's (/dev/md[01]) using sd[ac]1 and sd[bd]1
on 4 logical drives on a LSI storage (~73 GB each) connected via QLogic 2300 HBA (driven by qla2x00.o)
2. Do a mkraid -R /dev/md[01]
3. Do a raidstop /dev/md1


Actual Results:  Kernel panic

Expected Results:  Obvious.....

Additional info:

Compaq DL 580, 4xXeon 700, 4 GB, Onboard Smart-2
2x Qlogic 2300 FC HBA

Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2002-09-03 12:33:36 UTC 
qla2x00.o panics.. film at 11...at least it didn't eat your data this time.
 Why aren't you using qla2300.o ?
Comment 3 Nick (Gunnar) Bluth 2002-09-03 13:39:31 UTC 
Well, see #73356 
I just did it again without watching /proc/mdstat, and it worked...
Comment 4 Nick (Gunnar) Bluth 2002-09-06 13:00:42 UTC 
Ok, I think I have to apologize...  
  
I just learned that the SAN guys made the four disks a 2x2 mirror, 
although they explicitly told me they hadn't...  
This explains some of the problems I had...  
  
Nevertheless, I think the issue concerning "raidstop" while having a   
"while true; do grep sync /proc/mdstat ; sleep 1 ; echo; done" 
seems to be generic to me...
Comment 5 Larry Woodman 2003-06-23 17:32:50 UTC 
This has been fixed in the e.12 kernel errata that was released 
at the beginning of this year.
