(Soren Schmidt, Oct 2006) There is also PR "kern/113647" which was closed due to an unfortunate lack of info. (remko, Jun 2007) However, it seems to still be an issue in 6.2R/amd64. I was tarballing 100G from NFS mounted drives to local RAID-1. If there is other relevant log info I can provide to help track this down, please let me know what best to provide. I don't want to blindly dump tons of maybe-relevant info to the list. Jul 31 02:29:26 arachne2 kernel: DOH! ata_alloc_request failed!
