Yes, that's why I was asking--I was wondering whether it is safe to wait for what could be some time for a) RHEL to decide to patch (if they do so at all), b) RHEL to patch, and c) CentOS to patch. IOW, is the high load the only likely symptom of the originail aild patch, or are there potentially other problems, such as performance degradation that I haven't seen yet, that would make waiting for CentOS unwise? >> Do you know why I might not see this behavior on a different CentOS 6.x >> kernel? >> >> Linux xxxxxx 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 24 01:07:11 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > > Because the log hang bug hadn't been fixed in that kernel. This actually gives me some optimism that RHEL might introduce a new kernel sooner rather than later--that kernel wasn't all that long ago, and there have been quite a few (mostly unrelated) patches since. (That's why I was so surprised--I'm not used to the RHEL kernel moving so quickly!) --keith -- kkeller-usenet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
