Subjectmore info on dcache corruption in 2.1.76
DateMon, 05 Jan 1998 10:06:27 -0800
Your dcache verify patch continues to catch cases where the dcache
gets corrupted. I had two cases where it caught it over the weekend.

The first one is hard to pin down. My wife was running quicken in wabi
over an xsession and I was just messing around with files in the
kernel source directory. There was so much going on with this one I
don't think it yields very clean information. However, the second one
happened when the system was almost idle unfortunately. I was in kfm
and I requested a page from the web and it couldn't deal with it. So I
brought netscape up and looked at the page. It was swapped out and
right after that is when I saw that the dcache was corrupted.

I will continue to monitor the situation to see if I can catch a more
clean example of when the dcache gets corrupted. The problem is that
it only seems to happen when I am activly working with the computer
and the kinds of things that I do with my computer are kind of random.

BTW could you please mail me the patch again. I accidently lost the
original file and I would like to move to 2.1.77.

Thanks again,
ben
