We are using beta kernels in an attempt to solve this problem. As everyone knows, the most recent official SUSE kernel (2.6.16.21-0.25 i believe?) completely broke ocfs2. Downgrading to 2.6.16.21-0.15 solves that problem but the memory issue remains. So as far as I am aware, there is no SUSE kernel that works with ocfs2 which is where we find ourselves today. I just upgraded to the latest KOTD: 2.6.16.42-SLES10_SP1_BRANCH_20070307114604-smp And still, when running ocfs2, all ram gets consumed. Right now Novell is playing the "you don't have premium support" game so where should I report this bug?
