> This is a bad RAM problem, or insufficient RAM (slightly less possible) Unlikely to be either of those. My guess is its the reiserfs stuff interacting with the 2.2 VM code badly. 2.2.19pre8 fixes the VM behaviour in the general case and that might well make it handle the extra vm pressure reiserfs causes Certainly I'd try 2.2.19pre3 or higher. I don't think its hardware or reiserfs problems - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
