Ok, I've seen another thread on this but haven't seen patches.
This is how it happened to me. I was untarring X 3.3.3 source and
reached 100% disk capacity so i hit ctrl-c in the untar rxvt which
didn't get me anywhere. I went to another rxvt and started an rm of all
I had just untarred. This didn't yield anything. Now with two terms
hung, I went to a third (I couldn't start any more rxvts so I was now
being very cautious about what I ran) and started capturing /proc info.
Here's what I could grab. Sorry, by the end of this capture, all of my
terminals had hung either on disk i/o or a some form of tty i/o (i
assume).
Again, this input is somewhat sparse and lacking because I couldn't read
the disk or write to it.
Some things to note; update was not running as per notes w/ bdflush.
There is another problem with this system. I *must* disable APM, not
just in the kernel, but in CMOS as well. This machine is an AMD
K6-2/200 w/ 128megs, 3.5gig scsi/1.4g ide. It has a USB mouse on it
which I know is also subject to a variety of bad bugs, indeed, switching
out of X to console used to lockup the machine hard with no oops
reports.
To contrast this, I have the exact same kernel running on the machine
next to it, running the same set of programs w/ libs etc. It doesn't
have a USB mouse, *does* have APM compiled/enabled etc, etc. The
differences being the scsi disk/usb mouse and I haven't run it out of
space. It is also a pentium 166 overclocked to 200. It's been very
very stable.
Thankyou,
-d
