The side effects (being unable to create processes, etc) is similar. My kernconf is below, try building the kernel, and send an email containing the backtrace from any process that has blocked (in my case, lighttpd attempting to sendfile a large amount of data to php fastcgi triggered it, but that's a guess on my part). Note that this includes witness, and invariants, so performance will be hit. Also, enable watchdogd, and add -e 'ls -al /etc' to it's flags. It should drop you to a debugger with a backtrace within a few seconds of the lock being triggered, and it should output a backtrace and any invariant/witness lock warnings. Obviously if you don't have a serial or local console, don't do this. include GENERIC ident DEBUG options KDB options DDB options SW_WATCHDOG options DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS options INVARIANTS options WITNESS On 1/10/09, Pete French wrote: >> FWIW, the other guy I know who is having this problem had already >> switched to using ULE under 7.0-release, and did not have any >> problems with it.
