| |
Hi,
I just found that the 2.1.125 kernel corrupted my ext2 filesystem under extreme load. WHat I did:
tar -zcvf ~/linux2130.tar.gz linux Create a new tarfile for the new kernel cd linux make oldconfig make bzImage make -j modules ^^^ forgot the "2" here.
This caused the load to go to (give or take a few) 124, and eventually filled all 128 megs of ram and 50 megs of swapspace. Then the make crashed down but several files in the tree were totally corrupted (I had to untar the recently tar'd file).
I am using kernel 2.1.125 (I know it is old, but if this bug isn't solved yet, it is important anyhow), on a 300 Mhz K6-2 system with 128 Mb ram. The disc in question is a 6.4 gig UDMA WDCAC364, _not_ using DMA-mode.
Has anyone seen or fixed this already?
Greetings, Arjan van de Ven
