I keep getting lockups while X is running (well, I can't remember having
any when X wasn't running). My average uptime is under 4-5 days,
although that's partially due to CVS updates from the XFS tree. The
lockups are happening about 4-6 times per month I guess.
Is it possible to use kdb to discover whether the lockups are due to
XFS, LVM or something like DRI? Is it possible to get into KDB if I'm in
a locked-up X?
XFS is performing fine though, thanks for the fs. xfs_fsr is also
running fine for me (as far as I know). I run xfs_fsr daily, both on / and my
40G data VG and haven't noticed any fs corruption at all (I'd include
the frag -f output if I had the XFS tools installed, but there was a
build error last time I tried. They're rebuilding at the moment).
The rebuild problem was that debian/rules binary had skipped running
configure (or so it seemed - platform_defs.h hadn't been created).
Anyway, running configure and debian/rules binary has fixed that.
The filesystem gets a reasonable testing here I think. SMP Celeron,
serving around 50-100 simultaneous web/FTP connections 24/7, as well as
serving as my only PC. Things can get a bit slow sometimes (such that MP3s
pause for a while waiting for data off the disk), but that could be anything
(old slow IDE drives?).
