Message-ID: <20040407022151.GA8445@boetes.org> Mail-Followup-To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline X-GPG-Key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/keys/Han_pubkey.gpg X-GPG-Fingerprint: EB66 D194 AB3F 4C57 49EF 6795 44AE E0D8 3F38 7301 User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, To debug why the locate cronjob got stuck I tracked down is going on: So I run this little script: #!/bin/sh find / ! \( -fstype jfs -or -fstype reiserfs -or -fstype ext2 -or -fstype ext3 -or -fstype afs -or -fstype xfs \) -prune -or -path /tmp -prune -or -path /var/tmp -prune -or -path /var/spool -prune -or -path /usr/tmp -prune -or -path /mnt -prune -or -print Now the odd thing happens quite frequently: It's gets stuck just in the middle of some directory. When this happens I can not start any new applications. It stays this way until I go to the firebird window which gets itself back from swap memory (it seems) and then the find command continues. I run kernel-2.6.5 with jfs as filesystem and I do not use preempting. I have an athlon 1700+ and 256mb memory. I hope this is sufficient information to be able to repeat this problem. Otherwise please let me know what additional information you want to know. # Han
