Package: linux-image-2.6.23-1-686 Version: 2.6.23-2 Severity: important For several months (I think ever since I switched from 2.6.17 to 2.6.18 -- prior to that it was rock solid), I've been getting fairly regular Oops in ext3_clear_inode, after which the entire system becomes wedged (ping works, ssh and login do not). The oopses usually happen at 3-4 in the morning, when I'm mirroring an ubuntu repository for use in our lab. Load is typically high (over 4) during this period, and the disk (4 SATA drives under software raid 5) is very busy.
The oops looks like so: Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffef Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: printing eip: Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: f8cd3035 Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: *pde = 00004067 Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: *pte = 00000000 Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: Oops: 0002 [#1] Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: SMP Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: Modules linked in: des cbc blkcipher binfmt_misc openafs(P) sit tunnel4 ipv6 rpcsec_gss_krb5 nfs ipt_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv4 xt_state nf_conntrack nfnetlink xt_tcpudp iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables quota_v2 nfsd exportfs lockd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss sunrpc eeprom lm85 hwmon_vid ide_generic button i2c_i801 tpm_infineon tpm tpm_bios iTCO_wdt i2c_core snd_hda_intel parport_pc parport intel_agp agpgart sky2 snd_pcm snd_timer snd soundcore snd_page_alloc rtc pcspkr evdev tsdev ext3 jbd mbcache dm_mirror dm_snapshot dm_mod raid456 async_xor async_memcpy async_tx xor sd_mod ide_cd cdrom ata_piix usbhid hid ata_generic libata scsi_mod piix generic ide_core uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbcore floppy thermal processor fan raid1 md_mod Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: CPU: 1 Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: EIP: 0060:[<f8cd3035>] Tainted: P VLI Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: EFLAGS: 00010287 (2.6.23-1-686 #1) Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: EIP is at ext3_clear_inode+0x1a/0x76 [ext3] Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: eax: c0025874 ebx: c00257dc ecx: f7069dc0 edx: ffffffef Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: esi: c0025874 edi: 00000000 ebp: f7853f00 esp: f7853ec8 Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b fs: 00d8 gs: 0000 ss: 0068 Jan 24 03:57:07 peyresourde kernel: Process kswapd0 (pid: 202, ti=f7852000 task=f78481b0 task.ti=f7852000) Please let me know if you need further information.
