raid1 code (both stock and 0.90) is broken with 2.2.17.

It is the same deadlock found on drbd code.

A raid1 0.90 patch against 2.2.18pre16 (should apply against pre21) which
already has the fix to this problem can be found at
http://bazar.conectiva.com.br/~marcelo/patches/v2.2/2.2.18pre16/raid-2.2.18pre16-mt2.patch

Also I recommend you to use 2.2.18pre21 kernel, which does not have some
bugs in the TCP code that can affect drbd.

ooopppsss!!! I've patched the 2.2.17 with raid.0.9 from mingo rh + YOUR'S
deadlock patch + other minus. Plus I've installed the last LILO to support the
raid software boot + glibc 2.1.3 + other minus.

Please could you make some clear in the hard world of patches?

For a stable raid/software/network system what should I patch?

Cook list:

1. 2.2.18pre21
2. patch raid from your's raid-2.2.18pre16-mt2.patch
3. raidtools from kernel.org (witch one?)
4. lilo 2.14
5. glibc 2.1.3
6. heartbeat + drbd
7. drbd patch against deadlock ????





Thanks in advance

You can use raidtools 0.90 package from the major distributions
