Hi, I'm hit by this also. I've run the same kernel and conf sevral months. After 50 days uptime I rebooted a few days ago. Two three times in two days I've now seen noflushd eat all CPU.
Comment: I know I've experienced this before. If I remember correct it happened when i tested .18-kernel some months ago. I've tried to upgrade to a "cooler kernel", ie. .18 - but then I experienced this same problems. (Spin down is essential to my silent fanless bedroom system.. ;)) Stopping it works; sudo /etc/init.d/noflushd stop [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 156290904 hda 3 1 107418591 hda1 3 2 1 hda2 3 5 1445818 hda5 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/diskstat cat: /proc/diskstat: No such file or directory noflushd version: 2.7.5-2 Kernel, home made - worked fine a long time: Linux eden 2.6.17-5aug #1 Sat Aug 5 21:45:17 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux hardware: via epia pd6000e. -- /David A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
