These occur repeatedly every few minutes while RAID array is being written to
If I forcefully limit the client write speed to 500 KiB/s or less, problem
goes away
RAID array is EXT4 exported over NFS, and all disk activity is
initiated by client
Searching around, I came across this
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/9/345
(This is linux 2.6.34, but the errors look identical to me)
There's also a patch a few posts in from the above link
Quick look at the Lucid kernel git repo suggests this patch is not applied to
the Lucid kernel
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=blob_plain;f=drivers/ata/libata-sff.c;hb=HEAD
(I hope I'm looking in the right tree...?)
