What are we looking at here? Andrew, it's blktrace/blkparse output, basically. blkparse(1) manpage has the details. maj,min cpu seq time pid act rwbs off+len 8,0 0 1 0.000000000 1109 A WS 14375 + 8 <- (8,1) 14312 ... etc I'm not sure it gives us enough info; all we see is that there was an IO on sdb (from sdb1) I might suggest # sysctl -w vm.block_dump=1 to see if you get any info about inodes on sda1 being dirtied. (Also, I didn't see any info about sda1 in the posted fstab...) -Eric -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
