Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... (2.6.9-rc3) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org hi, during the last days i noticed that my box is using a lot of swap memory. it does the same things as every time, perhaps some application is leaking memory, i don't know / will examine. then i was away a few days and back again i found a partition of mine unmounted. in my syslog i noticed this message: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... i *think* this is the message just before unmounting the fs, but the OOM event was hours before, as the (slightly edited) log says: http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/2.6.9-rc3/messages.log (the VFS warning is at the end) maybe someone could have a look at it and explain to me what happened here? this is all on debian/unstable, vanilla 2.6.9-rc3 compiled with 3.4.2, loop-aes modules loaded. the said fs which was (un)mounted is this: /dev/hda1 on /data/Media type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,loop=/dev/loop5,\ gpgkey=/root/keys/hda1.gpg,encryption=twofish128) evil@sheep:~$ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 250 210 40 0 2 67 -/+ buffers/cache: 139 110 Swap: 766 662 103 thank you, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #312: incompatible bit-registration operators
