Hello,


Hi,

I am just started to test the stable-queue patch series on 2.6.32.10.
Now running, we will see...
The 2.6.33.2 made 4 crashes in the last 3 days. :-(
This was more worse than the original 2.6.32.10.

(I am very interested, anyway, this is the last shot of this server.
The owner giving me an ultimate.
If the server crashes again in the next week, i need to replace the
entire HW, the OS, and the services as well...)


I would recommend you to use a distribution-released kernel,
rather than a stable kernel from kernel.org, because usually
the distribution maintains a longer supported kernel than
kernel.org.

Just a little suggestion. Hope it helps for you to choose Linux. ;)

Personally, i am really like Linux, and use it since 1990. :-)
I have set up about 30 servers or more...
Usually i can't use the distro-release kernels, because these usually too old.
Additionally i can find bugs on any software and in any kernel version.... B-)
This is not the first time when i report bugs from the kernel, maybe the 4th or 5th time...
(I was who helped to solve the original NBD deadlock problem as well about 2005.)

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion. ;-)

Cheers,
Janos


Thanks.
