Searching the web for solutions to my problem I have already found a thread in a mailing list but no solution was mentioned, also the guys who talked about the error didn't answer to my direct mail. The machine is a two xeon cpu database server without any other service except sshd running. I do some tests on the ICP-Vortex GDT controller every 2 minutes by using # cat /proc/scsi/gdt/2 but the output of cat stops without beeing completed. This is what I see in the syslog file every time when I use the cat command (the messages beginn after 3 days uptime): --> /var/log/messages kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x21/0) What do you propose to do for I can get the information I need for longer than three days without reboot? This is a highly used database server in production environment.
