similar to: kupdated, bdflush and kjournald stuck in D state on RAID1 device (deadlock?)

I am getting an odd situation when backing up a number of ext3 filesystems and was wondering if it could be caused by journalling. Over the space of a minute the load average will jump from 2 to over 40 and the system will be unresponsive for anywhere from 8 to 25 minutes. I am going to be trying a number of things, but was wondering if anyone could see the reason for the high load given the

What is really puzzling me is that the ataraid device (/dev/ataraid/d0p1 mounted as /bigdisk) 2x 123GB IBM Deskstar's is formated as ext2...top and ps etc... show a fight between kjournald and kupdated and all searches for kjournald or kupdated fights suggest ext3 issues... :-) It's a RedHat 7.2, 2.4.7-10 custom kernal (I added in the Promise FastTrak support and HIGH mem support to

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having some problems. I seem to have introduced a memory leak after adding ext3 support to the kernel. I noticed when running top or viewing /proc/meminfo my free memory pool seems to be decreasing while my buffers are increasing (around the same rate). I am currently using a root partition and a /var partition. I have listed the ext3 boot messages below.

I apologize if this is off-topic, because I'm not sure if /proc/sys/vm/bdflush has anything to do with ext3 performance or not. However, I've been searching around for a while and can't find the answer I need. If somebody could shed some light, I'd really appreciate it. In "Securing and Optimizing Linux: RedHat Edition -A Hands on Guide", the author gives these values to

Get this warning on bootup ext3 file checks on 2.6.* kernels. Apparently harmless, but how do I fix this? _______________________________________________ debian-knoppix mailing list debian-knoppix at linuxtag.org http://mailman.linuxtag.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-knoppix

I'm lacking some understanding of how to tune / when to tune /proc/sys/vm/bdflush Where can I read up on this? Our current problem: Load is low, but ever so often the system decides to do some serious disk I/O which causes all processes to wait for disk I/O -- load explodes (rises linear up into the 20-30ies) just to fall linearly (spelling?) right after that. We think there might be some

Darrick J. Wong would like to nominate Anand Jain to help more on btrfs testing part (tests/btrfs and common/btrfs). He would like to be a co-maintainer of btrfs part, will help to review and test fstests btrfs related patches, and I might merge from him if there's big patchset. So CC him besides send to fstests@ list, when you have a btrfs fstests patch. Signed-off-by: Zorro Lang <zlang

The fstests supports different kind of fs testing, better to cc specific fs mailing list for specific fs testing, to get better reviewing points. So record these mailing lists and files related with them in MAINTAINERS file.

Do you know what can cause the smbd process to steal out the cpu usage (99%) and keep running like that for days? I have a Samba PDC 3.0.1pre3 running on top of RH9 2.4.20 kernel. Below is the current top report. Strangely, the PDC still responds in reasonable good response times to heavy network duty.traced the log.%machine name% and didn't find anything . I haven't tried to restart smb

Hi, This morning I had some failed calls. On the console (and in the log) I saw the error "Unable to allocate channel structure". Before I restarted the process, I checked it's memory usage in ps and glanced at my free memory in top. Asterisk was using a normal ammount of memory, about 40M. I don't think this was a system limit. This was running Asterisk v1.0.2. Below is

Hi, I'm using linux 2.4.25 and I'm trying to change the wakeup interval of kupdate daemon. Is there a way to change that ? I once used 'update' tool for that. But that is not there in 2.4.25. Has it been removed ? I appreciate any help regarding this. thanks, Vijayan

Hello everybody! As I wrote in my mail the previous week ("BUG: 2.4.19pre1 & journal_thread & open filehandles") I followed the problem a little bit further. Here's my patch; I beg the ext3-maintainers (Stephen, Andreas, Andrew) to have a look at it and submit it to Marcelo and Linux for inclusion. (2.4 is for now for me more important than 2.5).

Hello all, Saturday night, after a couple of shots of bourbon, I realized that I had an old PC sitting in the garage that I could use as an Asterisk gateway if I just blew the dust off it and reloaded it with a modern Linux distribution. In my characteristically impulsive manner, I grabbed it and started cleaning it up so that I could put it in my office without my wife having a fit. The

hello, What is the current situation with xen on amd64? the debian/sid archive keeps no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64, and I was not able to compile a 2.6.22 dom0 kernel with debian xen patches applied on my amd64 system.
