From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I run Phoebe (8.0.93 and 8.0.94) on an athlon with three RAID1 partitions across two drives. Everything run smoothly. I upgraded that installation to Shrike a week ago. Ever since, my drives have been crunching for long streches and the system log is full of messages like Apr 13 21:18:41 pig kernel: raid1: raid set md2 not clean; reconstructing mirrors This happened invariably after heavy write activity, like massive copying of data, but sometimes also after moderate writing. A rumour in IRC-land has it that kernel-2.4.20-8 can't manage the combination of ext3 and software raid. I was not able to find any official RH confirmation, but downgraded to kernel-2.4.18-14.athlon anyway. The crunching is gone. The error messages are gone. Everything works smoothly again. Heavy copying has no abnormal side-effects whatsoever. I can only draw the conclusion that the problem was not in my hardware or configuration and that the rumour is probably correct. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-8.i386 How reproducible: Didn't try (fear loss of data)
