On the first one, I only typed in to/var/  then hit tab and on the

the tab key.  Whatever it is doing, I have to hit ctrl C to get out of it.


Is /var on a different filesystem from / ?  That kind of thing happens to
me if an NFS mounted filesystem is hung for some reason (like the NFS server
not being up yet during boot).




Re: [gentoo-user] System cold crashing when too much memory is used?

2012-10-21 Thread Robert David
Hi, 

what rebooted Dom0 or DomU? Have you some special need to run kernel 3.4.9, 
try 3.0.35, I dont have any issue on server with 3.0.x.

Other thing, try to disable swap and run the script. Could be disk problem or 
bus/controller problem when copying pages from swap.


Robert.

 hi,
 
 I am running a Xen host with gentoo sources 3.4.9. I've had issues
 that the box cold reboots on me and suspected memory use. Today I
 ran the following little perl script:
 
 my $a = a x 1000;
 $b = $a x 1000;
 
 while(1)
 {
   $b .= $b;
 }
 
 2 Minutes about 2G swapped out (Dom0 has about 6GB of ram and lots of swap)
 and boom cold boot. No panic message on the screen before.
 
 Anybody has an idea what might be causing this?
 
 During on of these episodes I ran memtest86 on the box without error.
 
 CPU is an AMD Phenom 6core.
 
 Regards,
 
 Konstantin

It's on a different partition but the same hard drive.  So far, I been
messing with other commands, genlop seems to be the only one that does
this.  I tried the usual ls, cat, equery and a few others but they work
fine.  It seems to be something that just affects genlop and I have no
idea where to start.  I'm running genlop-0.30.8-r2. 

Is this a bug maybe?

On Kindle so very short response. Humor me. Create a directory, cd
there and run the command.

Same thing.  By the way, I'm running this as root.  I'm in the root
directory, as in cd / not as in /root/.  That help any?

Ok. Not what I reported and got fixed on eselect. Thought maybe there
was a parallel. Back to silent mode. Good luck and out.

Well, we can add tail, cp and rm to the list of commands where tab
completion works fine.  So far, genlop is the only command that does this. 

I also tried to use genlop-0.30.7 and genlop-0.30.5 with the same
results.  I'm wondering if it is not genlop but something else.  I also
tried both versions of bash-completion with the same results. 

Can anyone nod their head that this is weird?  o_O   Come on, nod your
head and get it over with.  lol  Ideas would be nice tho.  Heck, I'll
settle for 'mine does the same thing'.
