The overview I gave was to explain a pattern of behaviour we have with
really stressed servers here. The service I experienced problem with is
different, and since it's part of a non-disclosure agreement we have, I
cannot specify more. What I can say it that it's a system running an
application which has to be able to deal with ~100Mbit/s full duplex (50
in 50 out). The system also does ALOT of IO, the system is dual CPU, runs
a database that works pretty hard, and runs 1GB of memory that are ~80%
used.

The problems started after upgrading to 1GB memory, I assume because the
pattern of operation changed (less swapping). The problem occurs in
kjournaled in a reproductivable manner, but I do not think kjournald is
the problem, but that something else gets stuck, which causes kjournald to
fail, and then the system stops.
