Are you using ext3? 2.6.5-rc2-mm1 has a memory leak that affects ext3 code. Thus, after some uptime of disk intensive work, nearly all memory is wasted up. Please, upgrade to latest -mm tree (which ATM is 2.6.5-rc2-mm4). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
