Unkillable "dd" in kernel 2.4.9 In-Reply-To: <3BD21A41.2080608@igoweb.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Oops, just checked the red hat kernel source, found that my bug has been fixed there. Caused by a leak of preallocated raid1 buffer headers. Apparently fixed in the Alan Cox kernel series. Dang, wish I'd known about this fix before I used the vanilla 2.4.9 raid1 system! William M.
