Hi Eugene,
I just finished an other test 24h run, this time with about 90000 files
worth about 20GB of data. This time I had the primary/syncsource
on top of a *real* SCSI driver the Symbios 875 controller.
SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875 (rev 14)
I think that a SCSI controller like this is reasonably close to
an SATA device, since the SATA drivers in Linux use the SCSI
infrastructure. I.e. they use the same way to call their IO-
completion handlers etc...
I can not reproduce the issue here, no messages from ext3 nor from
wbtest.
I used:
wbtest -m 4096 -M 4194304 -p 0 -r 10000 -c 3 -l /root/vlog -d .
Eugene, in case you find a way to trigger the corruption, that I can
reproduce here, please let me know...
Open questions:
Might it be related to the md driver ?
To the combination of md/drbd ?
