From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: From customer: What I was doing to cause this error was running a I/O benchmark program called IOZONE (www.iozone.org). In particular, I was running 4 parallel instances of this program - all four directed at one I/O card. This one I/O card is attached to two filesystems (one filesystem per channel). The parameters I used for the iozone exection are as follows: "iozone -a -g 4G -o - i 0 - i 1" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. heavy I/O caused by benchmarking software... 2. 3. Actual Results: kernel panic with errors above Expected Results: no kernel panic Additional info:
