fsck, raid reconstruction
The first 2 problems aren't real problems (modify /etc/fstab, perhaps a special ioctl could be added to raid and fsck stops the reconstruction)
- at most anoying, but clearly no bugs.
But the third one could be a bug:
Quoted 8 lines
Third problem:
I just tried boot 2.4.3 today. (after an unclean shutdown) fsck runs at a crawl on my RAID-1 volume. It would take all day (!! literally) to fsck. The disk-drive activity light flashes about once a second, maybe once every two seconds. (with a corresponding click from the drive).
Can you boot without the raid-1 volume?
Run top/vmstat during the fsck+reconstruction - I assume the system runs out of memory and bdflush/kswapd are looping.
