I am getting the feeling that something in the IDE code isn't SMP safe as all the lockups on SMP I am hearing about involving raid on IDE. I have had zero flaws with SMP + raid .. but then I don't use any IDE components in my systems at all. HA Quoc Viet wrote: "Jason A. Diegmueller" wrote:

you mentioned kernel 2.2.11? there is a nasty memory leak in the tcp code... while we were on it, the machine would lock up about once every 36-40 hours. 2.2.12 cleared it up. On Wed, 15 Sep 1999, Jason A. Diegmueller wrote: -I must say I've never seen this in my entire life, so -I wanted to
