pickthenimp, have you had any other issues since your last post? I switched over to v6 around New Years (currently on 6.1.7, but going to upgrade as soon as I reboot the server), and I've had nothing but lock ups since. Most recently I went a full two weeks without a lock up, but it just finally bit it again last night. My lock ups coincided exactly with my switch to v6, so I'm certain that's the problem. If moving to XFS fixed your problem for good, then that's the route I would like to take as well, but I don't to go through the hassle without knowing for sure first. My server does not have a cache drive, so I'm certain my issue is not related to the mover script as you suspected yours was. Correct. No issues since upgrading to XFS. It's a pita but worth it. Thanks for the quick response! I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend now. At least I have a 4 TB (same as my largest drive) that's precleared and ready to go... Just to update for anyone else having this issue, after migrating each disk to XFS (a process that took about a week and a half for 8 data disks, the smallest of which was 2TB) I no longer have this issue. My server has been running uninterrupted for over a month. The only reason I took it down in between the change over and a month ago was to switch out a drive with a larger one. I've done several parity checks in the interim as well, with no errors to report. As far as I'm concerned, the issue was with RFS. I'm not sure if it was due to me having a few drives in my array that were >90% full, but moving to XFS has fixed my problem.
