8G==memory?

Hm, how is xfs config'd - `modinfo xfs` ....
Also which kernels from each distro, RHEL has -bigmem etc...

Can you enable KDB, and see if you can break in?

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/kdb

All,

I've been doing a study of SLESv8 and RHEL with XFS.
I installed the ScientificLinux on a Dual 3GHz Xeon server from Supermicro.
I also have an IBM ProFiber JBOD attached on which I run XFS.
I've been running specSFS tests.
With 4GB the test runs great.
When I run the same test with 8GB installed, the system hangs hard part way
through my first mix (1800).  No console, nothing.  I'm forced to use the
reset button.  I ran it twice just to make sure.  Then, on the same system I
changed to my SLESv8 disk.  With SLES, the same test did not fail.  It
continued on to very nice results.  Has anyone else seen problems with 8GB?
