320.0. "BIND command in CPU bound loop" by COOKIE::FROEHLIN (Let's RAID the Internet!) Mon Feb 24 1997 15:58

    Problem:
    
    RAID BIND command for a RAID 5 array hangs process in tight CPU loop
    without any I/Os.
    
    
    Analysis:
    
    The array is in a transient state to become reduced. The BIND code
    still tries to include the removed member in the BIND but skips the
    member when searching for complete BIND information.
    
    
    Workaround:
    
    Recall the BIND command but specify only one member device. Try it
    for each known member in the array.
    
    Solution:
    
    Fixed in V2.4 (not in T2.4-1).
