2.6 must start writeout, does it?
Sorry, but how can I tell?
Can you post vmstat 1 logs for each kernel?
The 2.4.20 vmstat is attached (formatting inline is ugly) but I couldn't get a vmstat for 2.6.3. Running strace vmstat shows that it's dying when reading from /proc/stat with a SEGFAULT. I googled about this but didn't see anything.
