Greetings When we shutdown our Red Hat linux server (version 7.1) using 'shutdown -r ' command the server hangs with the following message. md recovery thread got woken up > md: recovery thread finished > md recovery at (6) flushing signals even if we do not interven for a day or 2 the same status remains. The only way we could get our server back online is switching off the power and restart. appreciate your help. regards vikas vedak
