I have 4 disk nodes that acts as nbd-server.

The kernel : 2.6.17-rc3-git1, but if i have right, the 2.6.16.1 is the same
if i try to swich back. :-)
2 of 4 nodes frequently reboots without any error message.
I have turned on some debug option, and catch this message.
At this point i watch the free -l -s 1, and i can see, the nbd-server (or
kernel) didn't use the highmem for buffer cache, but why?
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2073048 893360 1179688 0 829092 19820
Low: 893464 868352 25112 0 0 0
High: 1179584 25008 1154576 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 44448 2028600
Swap: 0 0 0
(min_free_kbytes = 16000 now.)
Cheers,
Janos
