Again - thanks Simon for your time.
I have done ten's of tests now and I am getting a strong feeling that it
is the same problems described here from Steve Lord:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=99980808004670&w=2
Or the start of the thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=99919025308712&w=2
The reason I am almost convinced it is the same issue is that about
every 3 attempts I have only bdflush running and everything else in
deadlock. - I will have to follow the instructions and see what output I
get from kdb.
It appears that although they could only get it to crash with SCSI the
problem affects both SCSI & IDE.
I was going to short-cut the process and just download the cvs tree -
but for some reason the XFS site times-out at the moment. I will try
later.
When your machine hangs - have you noticed any trends in what processes
are left running?
