I've had the same. I downgraded to 1.14 from RH-6.0, that one showed the culprits into lost+found, where I zapped them with debugfs and upgraded back.
Ted is interested in getting hold of a stack backtrace (compile it with -g, and let it crash under gdb(1)), and of the offending file's inodes without mucking with them. Need to find them first... ;-)
BTW, this has been what I've got with 2.3.x kernels on P2, compiled with egcs snapshots or gcc-2.95.1 and latest binutils. One of them (2.3.20) ate largeish parts of /usr/src and had a snack of /etc, so beware. 2.2.5-22 from RedHat-6.0 works fine on the same machine, AFAIKS. Strangely, 2.3.20 on plain Pentium doesn't show any unruly appetite. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513
