Subject: [2.6.20] system sometimes stops responding
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 17:58:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070423155800.GA20799@vanheusden.com> (raw)
System: kernel 2.6.20
P4
2GB ram
512 MB swap
Situation:
Sometimes systems stops. SSH session stop. New logins proceed but just
before the command-prompt they exit again (after a delay of, say, 30s)
and return to the login prompt. New ssh logins do not even reach the
login-prompt. Network seems to still forward traffic and also the system
seems still be doing diskflushes.
I pressed sysreq m which gives:

So it looks like it is NOT out of memory.
Last messages before I pressed sysreg m:

(as you can see, the login process gets shot by signal 3 (SIGQUIT))
Anything else I can try?
I also found a list of stacktraces of all processes running in the
system.
