Alan,
raid5 rebuild has been fatally flawed ever since it got into 2.4, and
my recent testing has been looking at speed more than correctness, so
I didn't notice until now.
raid5_sync_request is handed a block number in 1K units and needs to
convert to 512byte sector units.
I could have used (block_nr*2)
I could have used (block_nr<<1)
but instead I used (block_nr<<2) !!!! :-(
Please apply the following patch.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
