I don't believe it is a memory, IO or hardware problem (at this point). I ran the above test simultaneously with "stress --io 10 --hdd 10" for several hours. No problems. I believe the problem is NFS locking up the machine. If I run the same "stress" program on a client machine, where the working directory is NFS mounted to the server, then I can cause a lockup almost instantaneously. Has anyone else seen hard lockups like this with NFS? Any fixes? Thanks, Matt -- Matt Garman email at: http://raw-sewage.net/index.php?file=email -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
