I've been working with SLES8 SP3, SuSE's 2.4.21-51 kernel and have run into a problem (which I have reported) but maybe the VMers have some insight.
When I put up two LVM striped volumes and try to cp -rp from one volume to another, the copy stops almost immediately and top shows the kupdated is in state D (uninterruptible sleep). When I do the same experiment in an LPAR, it runs correctly to completion! (Both LPAR and VM guest have the same amount of memory, the dasd is real dasd. The only difference is that the LPAR has 4 cp and the vm guest has 2 cp). Is there any VM maintenance I need to get on? (VM 4.3.0). Any other insights? ===== Jim Sibley Implementor of Linux on zSeries in the beautiful Silicon Valley "Computer are useless.They can only give answers."
