Hi, (I forgot to send this before...) We've been having grave issues with a few of our sparc build daemon machines in Debian. Something causes dpkg-query(8) processes, otherwise harmless, to run amok and allocate too much memory, but keep running and become resilient to killing. They eventually push the machine to the point where you can only ping it, but all the userland and the console is dead. I'm the admin of one of those machines, lebrun.debian.org, and all the details I noticed so far are at http://bugs.debian.org/433187 I'm certainly no expert on the kernel, but I'd be happy to help by providing debug information about the issue. Any suggestions will be most welcome, because at this point that machine lives a sorry life of reboot->buildd runs for a few hours->machine goes dead->reboot... -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
