I am experiencing occasional and unpredictable "memory fault" errors
with Berkeley DB 4.0.14 (I am testing Subversion:
http://subversion.tigris.org/).
On the Subversion mailing list it was suggested that if there are mmap
problems with XFS, these might be the cause of the crashes, which seem
to be due to Berkeley DB rather than the Subversion software itself.
The kernel I am running is:
Linux jdc 2.4.17-xfs #1 Sat Jan 19 16:47:16 EST 2002 i686
(checked out from cvs on that date).
Any suggestions?
I am willing to upgrade my kernel, but thought it best to inquire on
the list first to find out whether this is likely to be XFS-related,
if so whether it has been fixed and whether I can help to track it
down.
I am also waiting for 2.4.19-xfs to stabilize before upgrading; as I
remember, there were bugs that Steve Lord and others were working on.
There was some discussion of mmap problems recently, but that was only
on power-pc - wasn't it?
