SubjectRe: pre-patch-2.0.31-2 + werners buffer patch
According to Dr. Werner Fink:
> Do you have more infomation on the affected system? I'm interested on
> physical mem, swap space, ide or scsi disk for swap, smp, typical load,
> number of open file per process, .... other interesting things?.

$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 63376 62788 588 18300 35220 8668
-/+ buffers: 18900 44476
Swap: 98524 12 98512

The system swaps to /dev/sdb2 (64 MB) and then to /dev/hda2 (34 MB).

Load is typically 0.5 - 1, but at expire time goes up to above 15
(just before it crashes). I will install a watcher script that does
ps, free etc. every 30 seconds and writes it to cyclic logfiles on disk
to see what exactly happens when the system crashes.

It's just a uniprocessor Pentium 133. Disk:
$ df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda1 21438 9738 10593 48% /
/dev/hda3 298605 144059 139124 51% /usr
/dev/hda5 247871 27701 207370 12% /var
/dev/hda6 610533 199338 379647 34% /extra
/dev/sda1 995115 711638 232071 75% /extra2
/dev/sda3 2997835 2400986 534839 82% /archive

> Are there more patches included as the two listed above?

No, that's all.

> Does the appended patch against pre-patch-2.0.31-2 + my collected patch help?

I took 2.0.30, patched it with pre-2.0.31-2 and your latest collected patch,
from 15 Jul (Re: Problem with 3c509 and pre-2.0.31 kernel). However
when adding the patch you appended:

|--- linux/mm/vmscan.c~1 Wed Jul 16 13:35:59 1997
|+++ linux/mm/vmscan.c Tue Jul 15 19:38:09 1997
--------------------------
Patching file mm/vmscan.c using Plan A...
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [y]

So I assume that this is already part of the 15 Jul patch? I'm compiling
a 2.0.30 + pre-2.0.31-2 + yesterdays patch now, and we'll see if the
box gets through the expire this night or not.

Mike.
