While nfs-kernel-server is running, memory usage goes up indefinitely on the NFS server. After several days, the system crashes with a kernel panic due to being out of memory. If I stop nfs-kernel-server, memory usage appears to go down slowly. Hm, that's no good. Sorry for the long silence. I have no better advice than - try as recent a kernel as possible - try a custom kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK enabled to make the problem easier to track down. Thanks for the advice. Is this a regression (i.e., did previous kernel versions work okay)? I am not sure if this is a regression. In the cluster, NFS was replaced with OpenAFS, so I am not sure if the issue still exists with a recent software installation since this was a while ago. However, if you are interested, I might be able to set up a new test environment. -- Youssef Eldakar Bibliotheca Alexandrina -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
