Re: 2.6.12-mm1 & 2K lun testing (JFS problem ?)

Hi Andrew & Shaggy,

Here is the summary of 2K lun testing on 2.6.12-mm1.

When I tune dirty ratios and CFQ queue depths, things
seems to be running fine.

	echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
	echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_ratio
	echo 4 > /sys/block/<device>/queue/nr_requests
	

But, I am running into JFS problem. I can't kill my
"dd" process. They all get stuck in:

(I am going to try ext3).
