What you are showing, would probably show up by others if this were a vanilla kernel issue. I don't have an 8 way machine, just 2 way, but the vanilla kernel is being used on many 8 ways out there, so I think you are right that this _is_ a vserver issue. Unless, of course, that the vserver is producing an obscure race in the vanilla kernel that normal operations would seldom have. Just like the PREEMPT_RT patch has discovered many race conditions that were in the vanilla kernel but were not often a problem. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
