Kernel 2.6.9-78 does not appear to exhibit the problem. Aside from that I've seen the the symptoms written against 2.6.18 and 2.6.32 kernels. It's not easy to reproduce. The customer is using clusters of 50+ nodes all using internal storage. AFAIK, they are not sharing filesystems between nodes. The driver differences between the 2 kernels are minimal with nothing in the main code path. -- mikem > > Christian. > -- > BOFH excuse #414: > > tachyon emissions overloading the system _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
