https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480749 User arjen@zeilers.net added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480749#c4 --- Comment #4 from Arjen Runsink 2009-03-04 02:34:15 MST --- At the moment the issue can not be reproduced anymore. The following was tested: The issue could be reproduced, either by using the nvidia drivers or Xorg drivers. The issue did not occur when booting into run level S. Today I tried to reproduce the issue by booting into run level S and write a lot of data to disk using dd if=/dev/urandom of=testfile bs=4096 count=100000 The issue did not occur. Then using telinit 2 I swicthed to runlevel 2. Since the network was now available I installed dbench using yast and tested using dbench 100. No issue. I switched to runlevel 3, same test, no issue. Switched to runlevel 5 (Xorg nvidia drivers). And the issue did not occur to my surprise. A did repeated warm and cold boots into runlevel 5 with both the Nvidia and Xorg drivers... no more freezes... Was this an issue where the kernel tried to write to a specific disk location? I don't know. I did fsck the file system on multiple occasions, but the issue kept appearing... Perhaps you know of an other thing to try?

The link in comment #6 does not seem to exist. I've debugged the problem (it seems to be a bug in backport of one of the fixes). I'll attach a patch which fixes the problem for me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, is this also an issue for 32bit installations? I have one machine which has /home and /var as an ext4dev filesystem. I think especially in /var a lot of non-regular files are created regularly. This machine runs 24/24 with so far no issues.

The issue has yet to occur on the 32-bit server. It has /home, /srv and /var as ext4dev and did not miss a beat yet.
