Hello,

I have a problem with an Software RAID-5 at the top of 4 IDE-Drives
connected via 2 Promise UltraTX2 (20268) IDE controller.

FS is EXT3.
Kernel 2.6.8.1	(problem occured with 2.6.7, update didn't helped)
CPU: Pentium II 400
Mainboard: Asus P2B-S

After 29% usage, I've got an Kernel oops and system stalls:
-------- snip start -------------
Aug 27 16:30:18 gharb kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Aug 27 16:30:18 gharb kernel: md0: rw=1, want=6917529027856096120,
limit=241215360

I've seen something like this with a corrupt ext2 filesystem. Not had it
panic the box though, but a reboot into maintanance mode, and manual fsck
might be wise...

Gordon

As I write I using an ext3 FS and I also tried doing an manually fsck,
but than the kernel hangs with an different oops..
sorry I didn't mentioned this..
I also read at the inet, somebody have had the same problem a few times
