ok, now after collecting the data after a lot of "sysrq-p" after a lot=20
times running into the same 100% of kswapd0, i am sure: it's always the=20
same trouble.

it's also reproducable with rc3-mm3

> Does disabling cachefs in kerel config fix it?

it seems so, yes. now i'm running rc3-mm3 with disabled cachefs (config=20
can be found at [1]) for more than 6 hours (also under heavy I/O on=20
harddrives) and it is still behaving normal - no running kswapd0 any more=20
(kswapd0 finally managed to find some sleep ;-) )

greetings,

Damir
