Re: [CentOS] Odd INFO "120 seconds" in logs for 2.6.18-194.3.1

Hi,

Since upgrading to "2.6.18-194" I am getting odd messages in the logs. Such as;

sraid3 kernel INFO task pdflush 259 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

The output from

...

grep '120 seconds' /var/log/messages | tr : ' ' | awk '{print $10}' | sort | uniq -c

   6 nfsd
   4 pdflush

This is from an NFS server that since the upgrade has been flakey. I have an identical server running "2.6.18-164.11.1" and no such messages are seen.

is anyone else seeing this and/or know what is going on?

Steve

Maybe boot back to the older kernel and see if the messages stop... That would eliminate any sudden coincidental hardware problems.
