system:
pentium 100, 32mb ram (a web server)
4 scsi drives on two scsi controllers (bt946c and aha2940w)
48 mb swap (only hits the max swap when there's a messed up cgi-bin
running, otherwise stays around 3-10mb)
I'm experiencing lockups. The machine seems to work fine for a while,
and then locks. I can change terminals on the console (syscons), the
screensaver works, but the machine's dead to network/terminal io.
I supped Thursday afternoon (June 20th), and the first lockup happened at
7:30 this morning. It's been up and down ever since. I resup'd and rebuilt
a new kernel this afternoon (didn't see any fixes that would help me, though).
It just crashed again. This time, I was logged in and running top both at
the console and remotely. Both tops show pagedaemon taking ~ 35% cpu, and
being in vnwait; most httpd processes are either in vmwait or netio. vmdaemon
is taking 0.08% cpu and is in psleep. Top says the load was 4.55 (before it
locked up). No errant processes appear on top (other than pagedaemon?), and
the web server is configured not to start more than 50 concurrent servers
(it's Apache).
I can't switch back to -release for this machine (mostly because of the
aha2940w). For now, I'm going to try and compile a kernel using June 18th
sources. I will be around this weekend to work on this.
