Scratch that last mail about success. Something started eating VM up around 3 minutes ago. Looks like 2.4.X problem above 2.4.7..this blows and is way unacceptable. To have 167M of RAM open and 28M of swap taken up is just unacceptable. *sigh* Something's up. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE
Aperanlty i know kernel released to it suppose fix this problem Kernel 2.4.14 pre 6 i think. Alex :) Ben Rosenberg wrote:

Well, I guess we will have to wait for Hubert to sprinkle magic pee on it and put it up. I generally try to stick with SuSE kernels even if they are development kernels in Huberts directory.

It may be too early to say for certain, but I just upgraded to 2.4.13-3 from mantel/next and I've been running for an hour now without a single swap-out, and memory usage actually looks reasonable. For me this is a record, since these problems started. Maybe... //Anders On Thursday 01 November 2001 02.03, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

Just looked at Mantel's directory, it's 2.4.13-5 already. And it's been -1 just on Sunday... -Kastus

Hubert may have taken the code from this pre6 and put it into his .13 kernel. We shall see. Right now I'm running .10 from the 7.3 update directory on my 7.1 and 7.2 boxes..it seems to not freak out and dump to swap as often as .11, .12 and .13. Before I switched to .10 today I was running .13-3 and I was humming along with 0M of swap used and then *BAM* 158M's eaten in like 3 minutes...everything came to a stand still..which is why I backed down to .10 .. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE
After 20 hours with the same usage as before, I still haven't seen any swapping (well, 516 bytes, but that's ok. Odd, but ok). I tried mozilla, 3D gaming with q3a, hg2 and others, vmware, kwintv, everything I could think of that had 'stolen' memory from me before, or seemed to, but it all seems to work now. Of course, Murphy's law says that the system will crash 2 seconds after I send this, but take it for what it's worth :) This is with 2.4.13-3 btw. I didn't see any -5 in mantel's directory. //Anders On Thursday 01 November 2001 09.09, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

There are linux-2.4.13.SuSE-5.tar.bz2 and suse-2.4.13-5.bz2 in /pub/people/mantel/next, though there are only -3 rpms in RPM directory. Is it a typo or what? The files are all from Oct. 30, around 2 pm. -Kastus
