Lately I've been getting a lot of the following type errors: Sep 20 20:01:54 rogue kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 165918, size: 12288 The system has a raid 0 setup. I thought the normal cause of this was a hard drive issue so I did some checking over the past couple of weeks. I did a bios based scan of both drives, checked the raid reports and it thinks they are fine. I also installed smartctl and do daily testing and it reports the drives are both fine. It seems like I start getting those messages after the system has been up for a week or two. If i reboot they go away for several more days. Any thoughts on what could case this? The hardware is only 2 years old so the system isn't be overwhelmed. Showing 1% or less of processing via top at any given time. Is the hard disk the only likely cause? Thanks
