System: HP Compaq dc5800 Microtower, Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz openSUSE 11.3 x86_64, all patches applied Linux rhg-lx 2.6.34-12-default #1 SMP 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux To reproduce, a NFS mount is necessary. 1) I cd to a NFS mounted directory. cd /some/nfs/mounted/directory 2) There, I do a recursive search for some text pattern with fgrep -r, such as: fgrep -r 'Some Text' . >x1 As you see, by accident I write the fgrep result to a file which is located in the same directory where I do the recursive search. This is what causes the issue. Note that the search pattern must match the text in at least some of the files located below the directory where I do the recursive search, so that something is written to the x1 file. Almost immediately, the whole X session freezes, and after a minute a soft lockup message is written to the syslog (attached, see nfs-soft-lockup.txt file). -- 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.
