Hello, When running rtorrent (in sync to file mode), my kernel eventually will not write to the disk causing all access to md7 to hang and eventually the kernel will become totally unresponsive. EDIT: I have since gotten a response in the bug tracker and I am filing thins to the reiserfs maintainers. ~~(I'd find the file and report to the correct maintainer, but the docs are incomplete when it comes to discovering the source of the hung tasks in my case. I have filed bugs to correct this.)~~ I still have no clue how to get gdb to print out where exactly this is happening. It can't find the __schedule function in the kernel or in the reiserfs.ko object file. I'm not even sure __schedule is the problem as it seems to be lock related which would point to __mutex_lock.isra. EDIT: I've managed to verify that all disks are accessible (smartctl -a /dev/sdX) and that the RAID array is working and accessible (mdadm --detail and echo-ing check/idle to the array and seeing progress). Keywords: Hung tasks, Lockup, reiserfs, RAID. Linux version 4.14.184-nopreempt-AMDGPU-dav9 (root@Phenom-II-x6) (gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1)) #1 SMP Fri Jun 19 17:02:34 UTC 2020 I didn't have Internet before 4.9.X so I can't say if any version of the Linux kernel didn't have this problem.

the suggestion to not use reiserfs: My interest in using reiserfs was so that I would have tail packing. I've searched online and can't find another FS with this function for Linux. The reason I need tail packing is because I keep a bunch of mostly git repositories on my system. These contain a lot of files that are either small or are empty. I could try to hardlink all the empty files and small duplicate files, but git would complain. I could compress the source code like I do with normal code bases, but then I'd need to decompress and update them all. Writing a script to do that would be nothing, it's just the time involved compressing/decompressing that would be a waist (which is saying nothing compared to git's love for full histories instead of up-to-the-last-4-versions or something). I'm in the process of upgrading my storage (backup, change HW, restore). This means that my environment will change (RAID5->RAID6) and possibly the bug will disappear or be hard to reproduce like it has been for over a year now. I would therefor ask that you don't ignore this/delay so that this long standing bug can be quashed. Again, I'm happy to help you hunt down this bug! https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208719 Thanks, David
