[dm-devel] Re: bio too big device dm-XX (256 > 255) on 2.6.17

[Jure Pečar]

Hello,

this is getting more and more annoying.

Somewhere in the stack reiserfs-dm-md-hd[bd] lies the problem that's causing "bio too big device dm-10 (256 > 255)" errors, which cause i/o failures.

It works as expected on reiserfs-dm-sda and on ext3-dm-md-hd[bd].

Debian Etch, 2.6.17-2.
