Hi,
i have established a script which dumps information about swap and processes to disk every 10 seconds. I have now enable the magic sysreq.
It seems to bee a problem with reiserfs. i changed dump fs for the rman process to ext2 an have now no crashes anymore. I think i will move on saturday the hole data filesystems to ext2.
But Itis also possible that the systems runs temporary out of swap ? it has 1 Gig Memory and only 1 Gig Swap. I have enlareged the swap to 5 Gig.
Hi Oliver,
during the 2.4.1x series (x > 6) there have been several ReiserFS fixes in mainline kernel, so you may want to report your issue to SuSE support and see whether your problem is known and being fixed or it is an entirely new one. In the latter case, it will be fully investigated by SuSE and any fixes will be integrated in future SuSE kernels. The ReiserFS team FAQ page says that

But honestly I have no idea whether this can be related to symptoms you reported or not. I definitely recommend you report the problem to SuSE.
Best regards,
