Dear Developers: More on my 2.4.2 oopses concerning the "Unable to handle kernel paging request" These only take place during ENORMOUS write pressure, and I'm curious as to whether write throttling is an issue here. Since this is on a reiserfs atop lvm, some of the previously conceived solutions may not apply. It's not a major problem, as it only occurs I can start a tars transferring tens of gigabytes. But if I also then launch a task doing enormous activity on the vfs, such as a simultaneous "du -s ." on the directories in question, I can pretty reliably create the kernel paging fault. Cheers, Don Barry Cornell Astronomy -- 2.4.2 vanilla kernel + Brown's NFS patches, pretty minimal otherwise -- problem first seen on 256M ram, still persists at 392M ram -- LVM atop hda/hdb (60g) (motherboard via kt133 chipset) plus promise ultra66 controller driving 80 gig drive on hde - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
