I patched 2.5.66 with:
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.66-mm2-1.gz
I can still easily reproduce my starvation problem with:
cat cedo.iso | bzip2 > /tmp/cedo.iso.bz2
(cedo.iso is a 700MB CD image)
On another virtual console, I run the following script to demonstrate
the starvation:
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
sleep 30
date
ps x
date
echo -----
done
At first, everything is OK:
