Hi, I've got a UML running on a server here, but whenever I copy a large number of files across via hostfs it seems to lock up the UML. I have gkrellmd running and I can see the system load (of the UML) skyrocket just before gkrellmd dies and I lose access to the UML. Sometimes I can still switch between virtual terminals with Ctrl+A,Ctrl+A via the 'screen' program running via SSH within the UML, so it hasn't completely locked up, but anything that tries to access the disk gets stuck.
Sometimes gkrellmd keeps running and the load appears to go higher and higher, but even 24 hours later the UML has still frozen. I've never observed this behaviour with the other four UMLs running on the same machine, but then again they aren't running anything disk-intensive. UML is 2.6.14 (same executable for all UMLs) sitting on a 2.6.14-skas3-v9-pre7 SMP host. All UMLs are using the same base disk image, with a different COW image on top of that for each UML. Any ideas as to why it keeps locking up? When I first set up this UML it also froze when running 'mysql_install_db' and it has also locked up on occasion when compiling programs, so I don't think it's hostfs to blame. Thanks, Adam. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
