Hi folks, I've converted yesterday my router, which until now had been happily running ext2+2.4.13-pre2 on 8 MB of RAM + 200 MB of swap, to the ext3 + 2.4.16 (and 2.4.17-pre2) combinations (still eight megs of RAM, unfortunately 8-bit SIMMs ain't cheap nowadays). Now, as soon as the system gets some use (inetd kicks exim in, one ssh attempt, etc.), most processes go freeze themselves into <shrink_caches +57/80> I can very temporarily regain some control over the system by SAKing it, but eventually, everything userland is frozen up (packets still get routed, but after a while I get a load of netfilter-related messages questioning Rusty's sanity, which I'm willing to ignore as long as the VM is misbehaving). Going a little backwards, to 2.4.13-ac8 (of course) solves the problem (but incidentally, the interactive feel is much worse than what 2.4.16 gives before it freezes). What can I do to further isolate the problem ? Thanks for any help. -- Cyrille -- Grumpf. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
