Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-vserver-686 Version: 2.6.26-4 Severity: important
It appears that copy-on-write links don't always work, sometimes resulting in a lock up. They are supposed to work this way: echo "foo" >a ln a b setattr --iunlink a # Now both files are immutable but will break away on a write attempt. echo "bar" >>a # The files should be separated now... Alas, this is not enough to reproduce. -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version 2.6.26-1-vserver-686 (Debian 2.6.26-4) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080623 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-23)) #1 SMP Thu Aug 28 15:12:13 UTC 2008 ** Not tainted ** Kernel log: [478478.685620] INFO: task bash:15850 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
