Re: Zeroing data blocks

Could someone let me know how to use Magic Sysrq? (should it be
Alt-Sysrq + p or Alt -SysRq + t or Alt-Sysrq + m).
Also I noticed that sysrq is currently disabled on the Fedora Core 5.
Is there anyway I can enable sysrq (I am not sure if writing to
/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq would do the trick)
And also how can I analyse the crash dump produced by Magic Sysrq?

Thanks,
Avinash.

Sorry, spoke too soon. set_fs does indeed change segment limit. Sorry
for false hint.

But anyway, when did it happen? on the 1st iteration (that iterates over
overwrite_num)?

OK, maybe Magic SysRq can find out where it stucks.... Hang usually
means "locked" or "race" somewhere.
