Hello list,

I am using 2 primary FAT partitions for swap that I encrypt with cryptsetup
on boot with a random password from /dev/urandom. I noticed that once memory
pressure is high enough for the pager to start swapping, the system freezes.
It seems as if it's only the disk that freezes however, when I am logged
into a virtual console I can still use the keyboard to switch between
different consoles and the magic sysreq keys are working. I can ping the
machine but that's about it. Anything that seems to involve disk access like
logging in, Ctrl-C'ing the high memory job, switching to graphical console,
etc, does not work. I have tried to increase kernel logging with 'dmesg -n8'
but to no avail. I do not  see any error messages when this happens. I am
using  a vanilla kernel, version 2.6.34.5. Any pointers as to what could
this be caused by or how I could track this down are greatly appreciated.
