Hello everybody, I'm a novice in using linux alpha and I just got a strange behaviour with a large file (900MB). I was able to create it, but now it is impossible to access it. Copying the file via nfs cases cp to hang after approx 400 MB were copied and the status of cp apears to be "D" is ps (equivalent to "uninteruptable sleep") while the kernel produces the output Feb 16 17:23:54 frodo kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000002cdf952 Feb 16 17:23:54 frodo kernel: swapper(0): Oops 0 ... Feb 16 17:23:54 frodo kernel: idle task may not sleep The same problem apears with ftp and split. My system is a ruffian with 512MB running RedHat 5.2. Does anybody knows what went wrong?
