Hi, running UML 2.6.9-bb4 on SuSE Professional 9.2 with host kernel SuSE 2.6.8-24.5 (with SKAS) I notice the strange effect, that /tmp keeps filling irreversibly.
/tmp space is not only consumed as long as UMLs are running (as seen with "lsof|grep deleted"), /tmp space is _not_released_ when the UMLs are gone. When all UMLs are gone "lsof|grep deleted" returns nothing, but "df /tmp" still shows the allocations. In this situation attempts to umount (or remount ro) the /tmp fail, even in single user mode. The only way to recover from such a /tmp full situation is to reboot the host (then unmount of /tmp and the rootfs fail during shutdown, which causes fscks at the reboot...) I tried out different filesystem types for /tmp: reiserfs 3.6, ext3 and tmpfs, no difference. Anybody seen such behaviour before? I suppose this must be a bug of the _host_ kernel, not of the UML kernel. Do you agree? Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you! Linux. --- --- secure eMail: http://www.gnupg.de/ ---
