I'm running 2.4.17pre2 on one machine and 2.4.18pre1 on another without
any problems so far. I had problems with 2.4.17 on my Dual 800 with 1GB of
RAM but it seems to be an issue with the 7450 processor. Since Benh made a
few fixes (ie 2.4.18) it *seems* to be doing much better, although I
haven't put it onto production yet. Here are the results of the stress
test:
8:02pm up 1:08, 7 users, load average: 10.34, 9.53, 7.80
82 processes: 68 sleeping, 12 running, 2 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states: 66.1% user, 33.4% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle
CPU1 states: 75.1% user, 24.3% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle
Mem: 1026464K av, 1020568K used, 5896K free, 0K shrd, 34728K buff
Swap: 262136K av, 484K used, 261652K free 793024K cached
It managed to do this for a couple of hours until it died when I filled
the root fs. I re-installed and recompiled and everything has been running
fine since then.
My 2.4.17 machine is mounting nfs volumes which my 2.4.18 machine is
serving. Try grabbing the latest kernel. Make sure you enable V3 client
and server support when you config.
Cheers,
Chris
