but then it will (just before switching the console to the old
state) just sit there and do nothing. After about 3 minutes I gave
up and did reset the machine.
I have two hypotheses for that:
1.) IIRC the kernel (pmdisk) said something about 50'000+ blocks or
pages being written to disk (usually it's just 10'000+). If this
number is about pages (4kb, right?), this would be about 200MB, which
nears the swap limit (I'm not sure if this run was with the 2nd swap
already prioritized higher). So.. what's the symptom of swap
collisions?
2.) is pmdisk ~high memory clean? I have 512MB of RAM here, IIRC I
had to enable some kernel option for this (but CONFIG_HIGHMEM is not
set; dunno remember which it was, would have to look deeper).
