Hello Sorry for my late reply. I was busy the last few days.
> Thank you for your two oprofile reports, but they are not helpful since > these cases were not hang-case. Of course they are helpful. It might be, that mount was not totally hanging. But 31 seconds instead of some milliseconds is a big difference, don't you think? Kernel 2.6.35.10, AUFS 2 ------------------------ # mount / -o remount,udba=notify; find /usr -type f &>/dev/null; time mount / -o remount,udba=reval real 0m0.031s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.023s Kernel 3.2.1, AUFS 3 -------------------- # mount / -o remount,udba=notify; find /usr -type f &>/dev/null; time mount / -o remount,udba=reval real 0m31.378s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.043s > Please reproduce the hang-case and post > the oprofile report at that time. Anyway, I will try, if I can reproduce a "full" hanger. > > On your system, the remount to "reval" doesn't run a long time? > > On my dual core system, "remount-reval" didn't take so long time, but > "find" did.

It's not exactly the same test. And my root ("/") is the AUFS union: /dev/sda2 /mnt/overlay ext2 ro,noatime,errors=continue 0 0 /dev/sda3 /mnt/rootfs ext2 ro,noatime,errors=continue 0 0 /dev/sda6 /mnt/rwdisk ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=writeback 0 0 aufs / aufs rw,relatime,si=ecdd3de3,udba=notify,nowarn_perm 0 0 Best regards Elmar
