I've had no problems > before .24 rc1 I am seeing something very similar on a PowerPC machine where copying a file from an LVM volume with ext3 on it to a simple scsi partition (again ext3) on the same disk will hang in congestion_wait. If I am patient enough, the copy makes very slow progress. A kill -9 will kill it eventually, but a simple control-C will not. This hang occurs more often than not (and usually when I am trying to install a new kernel into /boot for testing :-)). I don't have access to the machine today, but if more information would be useful, I could boot into 2.6.24-rc1-<mumble> again tomorrow. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell [email protected] http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
