Hi


Yes, I am sure that I used 2.6.27.6. I checked it again.

When I tested 2.6.27 without "dm snapshot: fix primary_pe race" I
brought to call trace after a few minutes but with use "dm snapshot: fix
primary_pe race" bring to call trace is very hard.Sometimes even after a
few days test. I don`t have reproducible scenario :(. I tested kernel
with use Bacula, Rsync, LVM, Snapshot together and very heavy load.It
happened only 2 times through four weeks test.How can I help in this
case? Thanks and best
