Hi All, I’m using FC3 with 2.6.9 SMP Kernel. The root file
system is EXT3 and the volume is a XFS volume. While doing IO over a NFS v3
share, with ‘watch df’ running in parallel,
kernel panic at SLAB memory is noticed. When searching Internet, I also noticed
that similar KP are reported at free_block function;
but could not find fix for this. For me, this issue appears intermittently. It happens when doing
IO over 60 NFS shares. From the KP message it appears to be an issue in Linux SLAB
memory module. Can anyone suggest a solution for this issue? Is this issue already addressed in later
kernel like 2.6.12? ------KP start------ kernel: Unable to
