There were assumptions that it is XFS related. Are you using XFS on that box? I'm able to deterministically produce this error: on XFS partition store a file from network using multiple threads. If file size is bigger then total memory, then it fails after major part of memory is used for a file cache. -- Lukáš Hejtmánek - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
