Hmm. I just moved my sata_sil stuff out of the way and rebooted: $ uptime; grep scsi_cmd_cache /proc/slabinfo 23:22:16 up 4 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.00 scsi_cmd_cache 1200 1200 384 10 1 : tunables 54 27 8 : slabdata 120 120 0 My other workstation also runs 2.6.15.1 but uses sata_nv and doesn't exhibit the problem. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
