Regards,
Heinz -- The LVM Guy --
[1.] 2.4.20 starvation under heavy write io
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
Copying 12g onto a 67g ext2 fs causes the system to 'hang' with HIGHMEM4G
configured (system has 1.5GB RAM) after trying to allocate a bounce buffer.
[3.] Keywords: HIGHMEM4G, kernel, starvation
