I'll try to > reproduce it. Is there any particular workload you were running? "It's the tmpfs swapping test that I've been running, with variations, for years. System booted with mem=700M and 1.5G swap, two repetitious make -j20 kernel builds (of a 2.6.24 kernel: I stuck with that because the balance of built to unbuilt source grows smaller with later kernels), one directly in a tmpfs, the other in a 1k-block ext2 (that I drive with ext4's CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23) on /dev/loop0 on a 450MB tmpfs file." I doubt much of that (quoted from an older mail to someone else about one of the many other bugs it's found) is relevant: maybe just plenty of file I/O and swapping.
