Hi,
my NFS client machines (opensuse 12.1) freeze if i try to copy large files to the NFS Server (opensuse 11.4). It seems that the /proc filesystem blocks somewhere and user processes freeze therefore. The files are ~10GB and bigger than RAM+swap (=8GB). It also works if i generate a 10GB file with dd on the nfs mounted filesystem. Can someone confirm? Or has a solution?
Depending on how you use dd, it will reserve previously a lot of ram:
dd if=/dev/zero of=somefile bs=2G
will use 2 GiB of ram before writing a single byte to disk.
The dd bs was set to 1M, and cp or mv a large enough file triggers the bug too. Thanks anyway! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
