The machine exports both Samba and NFS shares, and the kernel is configured for high memory (4GB), so the conditions are similar to the previous examples of this behaviour. I remember that someone at some point had an alternative VM implementation that was supposed to correct this problem. Does anyone know who that was and if there are any patches that would apply against 2.4.21-rc1? --=20 Zed Pobre a.k.a.
