Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.21-35.EL, 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL and kernel-2.4.21-27.EL How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.run bonnie++ and wait for few hours Actual Results: I/O errors on disk or kernel panic Expected Results: system should run... Additional info: Host, OS info: -------------- Dell PE 2850, 2xXeon, 12GB RAM, 1xPERC 4i/DC (1logical drive raid 10, scsi1, sdb), 1xPERC 4e/DC (1logical drive raid 10, scsi0, sda), 1xQLA2312 (no drives attached, scsi2) BIOS A2 RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 3 U5 x86_64, latest updates DELL PERC drivers: megaraid2-v2.10.10.1-1dkms dkms-2.0.5-1 Kernel from RHEL ES Beta: kernel-2.4.21-35.EL Filesystems: ext3, no sw raid, no lvm reproducible: yes After running 1 or 2 bonnie++ (one on sda, one on sdb) the kernel crashed after few hours of benchmarking in loop I also tried kernels 2.4.21-35.EL, 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL and kernel-2.4.21-27.EL withe default megaraid2 from RH Running bonnie++ on RH driver causes scsi I/O errors after some time of test. Other symptoms: It mmight happen that throuput for writing goes down to 100blocks/sec (according to iostat) even if there are many dirty buffers to be written, bonnie than takes more than night to finish. Reading from this disk (dd if=/dev/sda1) at the same time seems to improve write performance again.
Apparently, this was created by mistake (a double entry). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 167166 ***
