The bisect ends up pointing at IDE bits everytime, plus it's io scheduler independent. So I don't think a generic issue is very likely. > I really do think that it is the same hang-in-block-layer issue that > Ingo managed to hit once (his system was using libata)...

Anders can reproduce easily, should be easy enough to narrow down. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
