From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010917 Description of problem: installed kernel-2.2.19-6.2.10 on an Athlon 700 with two ide hard drives running software raid1. After about a day of use many operations that involved reading files would seg fault. grep and cat would both seg fault if I cated a file larger than about 5 megs. mutt too would seg fault. The only kernel module loded at the time was the network card and raid1. Since the problem seemed to be related to reading from the disk and other people using this kernel are not having this problem I am going out on a limb to say it was the raid1 module. Unfortunatly there were no logs or messages generated during this peroid. A reboot fixed the problem but it came back after a day of uptime. As this is a production box I had to roll back to kernel-2.2.17-14. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot my box running software raid1 with kernel-2.2.19-6.2.10 2. wait a day Actual Results: things seg faulting left and right when accessing some files. cat grep mutt and su all triggered this Expected Results: a stable computer Additional info:
