perhaps you could test it?
Thanks, Eric. I will test Lachlan's patch on our system.
To follow this up, since applying the patch from the above thread
there
have been no re-occurrences of the issue on our test servers over
the past
month.
And you hit it pretty reliably before, right? Sounds like we need
to
give that a pretty strong eyeball and get it merged, perhaps.
I was looking at this patch too.
But I could never reproduce the problem, even with Lachlan's test
program. Kevin, any idea what kind of io load triggered this problem?
The patch looks right, but I really want to prove the problem
exists, and the patch addresses it.

FWIW I can't reproduce either, with the stated commandline.
Should try it with a 1k blocksize, though - maybe Lachlan tested 4k on
16k page ia64?
That's what I've tested on.
