Subject: PROBLEM: 2.4.19 & 2.4.20 hang without oops...
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 00:52:29 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030107005229.A28504@bach.dynet.com> (raw)
Hello Everyone,
I'd like to report a (probable) kernel bug in v2.4.19 and v2.4.20.
This problem does NOT appear in 2.4.18 and I've had to go back to
that kernel for now.
The problem is as follows:
While attempting to copy about 50GB of data onto an NFS-mounted partition,
the `cp -a` process will go for a while, then my machine will hang/freeze up.
I can reproduce it very easily and quickly on kernel 2.4.19 and 2.4.20,
and most of the time happens before even copying 10GB worth of data.
I am unable to reproduce the problem on kernel 2.4.18.
Here are the specifics:
HARDWARE:
Dual (SMP) P3-500, supermicro MB, 512MB ECC buffered SDRAM.
3c905b ethernet card.
EIDE hard drive operating on a 16MHz (UDMA *disabled*) bus.
SOFTWARE:
Compiled the kernel with Redhat GCC v2.96.
(I also compiled v2.4.18 the same way and it works)
I am very concerned about this bug and that it doesn't seem to be fixed
in the latest Linux 2.4 kernels.
For additional information, please feel free to e-mail me. Or, if you
happen to know something about this bug already, please e-mail me.
Thanks!
Charlton Harrison
