Perhaps its time to back to a stable (2.6.17.13 kernel)? Anyway, when I run a cp 18gb_file 18gb_file.2 on a dual raptor sw raid1 partition, the OOM killer goes into effect and kills almost all my processes. Completely 100% reproducible. Does 2.6.19.2 have some of memory allocation bug as well?
I had been seeing something similar (also with 2.6.19.2), but it's not outputting anything to dmesg, so I was waiting for something to happen before I reported it. It's mostly the same thing, but I've only seen it happen when copying something large (2+ GB) over NFS. Interactivity completely goes away and lockups last 10-15 seconds a piece. Then realized I turned the swap off, so I turned it on and didn't lockup any longer. -- avuton -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
