Will keep trying. Ok, I have been completly unsuccessful in reproducing this. Dispite having two distinct machines showing this behaviour. I have neither been able to reproduce it with those machine on 2.6.23-rc6 nor has any of the testing of any of the -git releases which follow thrown this error. I have run about 10 repeats of the jobs which failed too and none of those have thrown the same error. It is pretty clear from the dbench output that the problem is/was real, that its not some artifact of the test harness. I am a loss as to how to get this to trigger again. I guess I will keep monitoring the ongoing tests for new instances. I will also look to getting the sysrq-* stuff triggered automatically on job timeout as that seems like a sane plan in all cases. Frustrated. -apw - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
