Hello With linux 2.6.18 and aufs1 (compiled from cvs but also reproducible with a binary package from 2007) and root filesystem mounted as aufs, I found that doing "auplink / flush" causes the system to freeze for about 2 minutes. During this time I can't press any keys on the console and can't ssh to this machine over the network, yet it responds to ping.
After playing with the auplink script, I was able to narrow down the problem: find with -inum option and remount. Here is a simple test that can be done with or without aufs utilities installed: # mount -o remount / # find / -xdev > /dev/null # mount -o remount / # find / -xdev -inum 987654 # date; mount -o remount /; date Wed Mar 24 21:00:29 CET 2010 Wed Mar 24 21:02:28 CET 2010 Any ideas why it's happening? -- bl4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
