I've since installed a very slightly modified build of the initial kernel and had to reboot hera twice more (both to the same kernel, but I again ran `lsof -p ` and had Linux panic on me. A feature that has very consistently bitten me on a number of kernels and a number of systems lately). This second kernel is at least, so far, acting a lot closer to what I'd expect from hera, but the disk cache is still filling. I'm going to keep an eye on it for a bit longer tonight. As a note, the only difference between the first 3.1-rc1 kernel and the second, that is currently running, was the explicit disabling of IMA and recompiling the kernel. I'm going to give the all clear at this point, I won't be doing any more reboots without an additional e-mail and notice. If you see any problems or issue, or you catch that the loads are spiking up into the stratosphere, please let me know. - - John 'Warthog9' Hawley On 08/16/2011 04:27 PM, J.H. wrote: > Hey Everyone, > > Ok so since I'm back from vacation, and things don't seem to be getting > better, I'm going to take hera/master offline in about 30 minutes or so > (5pm PDT or Tue Aug 17 0:0:0 UTC 2011).
