[Apologies if you see this twice, but after 3 hours I still haven't
seen my original posting on this list]
We sold a customer a big AMI Megaplex (4xPIII/500, 2GB RAM) server
but as soon as they put any load on it, they see the following
problems:
- sometimes the I/O subsytems "hangs" for 10-20 seconds
- every few days the server just hangs. Doesn't respond to pings, nothing.
We need to press the RESET switch....
Config is:
- AMI Megaplex 4xPIII/500 2 GB RAM
- AMI MegaRaid EC9F:1.24 controller with 4 18 GB disks in RAID5 mode
- Linux 2.2.13 kernel compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3 and SMP / 2GB support
Today the machine hung again, but it did still respond to SYSRQ, so
I got the following debug output. I'd appreciate it if someone could
take a look and say if this is something that 2.2.14/2.2.15 should
solve, or that it is something else. It looks like the kernel gets
stuck in add_timer/timer_bh somehow. Note also the strange "buffer hashed"
output.
Unfortunately there is no way to force an OOPS using sysrq right now,
so I do not have a complete stack trace.
