Hello,
First of all, please allow me to send a big THANK YOU to all of you who made
XFS on linux a reality. Working with XFS on IRIX for quite some time, I am
convinced that the availability of XFS will be a big step forward for Linux
in mission-critical applications.
I recently switched a desktop machine to XFS-only. Patching the SuSE-2.4.2
kernel sources worked without a problem (to my surprise), compiling with gcc
2.95.2 was no problem, too. After reboot, everything works like a charm, but
after some hours of moderate or even low fs-activity, kupdate starts to eat
up CPU every time it is called - even the mouse on X freezes for approx.
1/2s.
I have not found postings regarding this problem in the archive yet, so any
hints would be appreciated. Should I try another (clean) kernel, a different
gcc, different settings for mkfs, etc...
Thanks in advance
Tilman
