Hello !
I am running the 2.4.20 kernel on a system with 3.5 GB RAM and dual CPU.
I am running bonnie accross four drives in parallel:
bonnie -s 1000 -d /<dir-name>
bdflush settings on this system:
[root@dyn-10-123-130-235 vm]# cat bdflush
2 50 32 100 50 300 1 0 0
All the bonnie process and any other process (like df, ps -ef etc.) are
hung in __lock_page. Breaking into kdb, I observe the following for one
such bonnie process:
schedule(..)
__lock_page(..)
lock_page(..)
do_generic_file_read(..)
generic_file_read(..)
After this, the processes never exit the hang. At times, a couple of
bonnie processes complete but the hang still occurs with the remaining
processes and with the other processes.
I tried out the 2.5.33 kernel (one of the 2.5 series) and observed that
the hang does not occur. If I run, two bonnie processes, they never get
stuck. Actually, if I run 4 parallel mke2fs, they too get stuck.
Any clues where this could be happening?
Hi,
Are you sure there is no disk activity ?
Run vmstat and check that, please.
Hello !
Thanks for the response.
The light on the controller does not blink at all. Intitially, it does
blink. However, after this hang, it does not at all.
vmstat after the hang
