Thread: Transfers to RAID array freeze
i'm running ubuntu server 10.04 lts. have 8 data hard drives, each 1 1.5tb, , in raid6 array created mdadm. installed xfs directly on array (i have no need features in lvm), , using samba access server (my server linux machine - other machines windows).
performance great: can saturate gigabit connection on reads, , seem average 85 mb/s on writes.
problem when write data raid array, freezes. clarify, entire system freezes , not respond. ssh windows have open server (from other computers) cease responding. forced cut power system, after raid array resyncs.
have searched problem, , found thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980828. however, participating in thread not seem have solved problem. symptoms same though.
have idea might causing problem, , how might solve it?
time.
edit: have solved problem. editing post in hopes else searching solution.
upgraded 10.04 11.04 , problem went away. prefer stay on lts, there's no point in "stability" if comes crippling bug. anyways, if possible, upgrade version of ubuntu , should fine.
don't know if in way related, last night server (10.10) seize up, in stop responding , num-lock , caps-lock led flash 5 mins transfer samba share.
problem (for me anyway) stick of ram added earlier in day. system worked fine otherwise, 5 mins transfer (up or down) freak hell out , lock up. once pulled ram assume defective, transfer fine.
don't know if it's same problem, sounds similar me. run memtest or remove newly added hardware see if makes difference.
