Hi,

I got the VM error "VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for mongo_read..."
and then I couldn't log into the system, when stress testing
reiserfs+raid0 setup on a 2.2.18 box using the reiserfs benchmark
mongo.sh. The problem was reporduceable on each run of mongo.sh.

./mongo.sh reiserfs /dev/md0 /mnt/testfs raid0-rfs 3

Thinking the raid code might cause the problem, I tested on reiserfs
only, but I got the same error message. Later, I found the same
problem running mongo.sh on an ext2 partition (stock kernel without
any patches).

I guess this problem is not reiserfs specific. What can I do now to
solve the problem?

Here is the hardware configuration of my test box:
PIII 600, 256M, Adaptec AIC-7896 SCSI controller, two Quantum SCSI
disks.

Regards,
