Kernels <= 2.6.5 don't have this problem. After 2.6.6 show this behaviour sometimes i downgraded to 2.6.5 as i thought that it would be fixed in 2.6.7, but 2.6.7 also show this behaviour. The I/O i do is split some large files (>2GB) into smaller files <= 2GB. Sometimes the process that does this just hangs (currently i have such a hangung process), top currently shows up to 90% I/O-Wait. SOME of my "konsole"s(xterm) hang then too, but others don't (like this where i type this email) starting new "konsole"s sometimes work, sometimes not. System is: Distribution: Debian SID. 2xP3-933Mhz, 3GB-RAM, Serverworks HE-SL-Chipset "System"-HDD is SCSI connected via Symbios-53c1010 (Dual U160) "Data"-HDD(s)(where the split-process does it's work) is connected to a Highpoint RocketRAID 1540 (HPT-374 Chipset) Filesystem is XFS for the Data-HDD(s) and Reiserfs for the system-HDD. If other info is needed i will provide them. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. - 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/
