Syslog continued to work until 11:51 (local time), the slabinfo-8-TREE_RCU.txt file was written to until 11:57, the machine was already unusable at that point. At 12:07 I took a "screenshot" and then powercycled the machine: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.39-rc4/oom/ (The files marked with -8 are the current ones) Btw, the xfs filesystem I'm du'ing over is still mounted with "noatime". Any ideas? Patches to try?
