Hi there,
I'm using kernel 2.4.8-ac2 on a Dual PIII-1000 with 4096M RAM, and a
reiserfs filesystem on a RAID-1 mirror of two 76GB UDMA disks, and I'm
experiencing a strange problem after the machine has been running for a
while.
Every now and again, running sync(1) (i.e. the program) seems to hang and
end up in state D (uninterruptible sleep). There is no way to kill it
(even with SIGKILL but I assume that this is typical for state D
processes.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? I have searched the
archives and couldn't find anything similar.
Thanks,
Corin
