Hi all, for some weeks since using aufs2 i got a pretty strange effect.
I'm booting a gentoo x86 system and it's rootfs is now aufs. The boot process is something like this: mount /dev/sda1 /boot #create aufs branch mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /aufs_dynamic mount -t aufs -o br:/aufs_dynamic/=rw none /aufs_vertex #add overlay partition mkdir -p /aufs_vertex/mnt/aufs/overlay mount /dev/sda2 /aufs_vertex/mnt/aufs/overlay -o rw mount -o remount,append: /aufs_vertex/mnt/aufs/overlay=rw /aufs_vertex #add loop-image mkdir -p /aufs_vertex/mnt/aufs/images/10-desktop.squash/ mount /boot/images/10-desktop.squash /aufs_vertex/mnt/aufs/images/10- desktop.squash/ -o loop mount -o remount,append:/aufs_vertex/mnt/aufs/images/10-desktop.squash/=rr /aufs_vertex That works pretty nice so far, my system (fully copied into this squash-image) works without any modifications. But when i start any kde4 application my cpu becomes busy and top shows pdflush with about 99% usage. I've no idea how to debug this. Kde 3.5 works fine and anything else which does not use kde4 works too. Even when i kill the x server pdflush does not calm down. I'd be very thankfull for some help on how to debug this issue. Btw, the same system with aufs (not aufs2) worked perfect. System is a linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r1 aufs 2-standalone.tree-29-20090511 with no AUFS_BR_RAMFS, no AUFS_HINOTIFY and AUFS_DEBUG set. There is no hint at Xorg.log, messages or dmesg. Thanks for any hint :-) Cheers Alex -- Alexander Krause Amtmann-Kästner-Platz 11 99091 Erfurt Mail alexander.kra...@ed-solutions.de Tel. +49 (361) 2156472 Mob. +49 (179) 4725826 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects
