And no, it's NOT xfs-related: I can trigger the same issue easily on ext4 as well. About 20 minutes of running 'dump' of another fs to the nfs mount and voila, nfs server reports the same page allocation failure. Note that all file operations are still working, i.e. it produces good (not corrupted) files on the server. /mjt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
