My /dev is mounted as udev and is 10MB in size, which is more than enough for kernels < 2.6.39. But with 2.6.39 something changed and /dev/.udev/queue.bin is growing to 7 MB and more, udevd is spinning like crazy and the OOM is reaping processes. I'm currently in the middle of a bisect, with 11 steps to go on this PowerBook G4 :-\ Thanks, Christian. -- make bzImage, not war -- 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/
