Hello,

After almost 6 months of problem-free operation one of my NFS servers has suddenly started to panic and do a automatic reboot regularly, about every 24 hours.

This is a dual Xeon (with UP kernel for the time being) SE7501HG2 with 4 GB RAM and a Intel SRCU42X RAID controller (AMI MegaRAID).

I ran 5.4-RELEASE-p2 on it, but had no kernel.debug for that, so I installed 5.4-RELEASE-p8 on it to get some information from the crashes. (See below). I have also installed a UP kernel to rule out any SMP related problems.

I found no PRs referencing this exact problem, and no mailinglist postings addressing this exact problem (well, found one thread where someone provoked this to happen by tweaking the wrong numbers).


My gut feeling tells me that this is a tuning problem, but I really don't know where to start, so any pointers would be great!

By habit I have this in my loader.conf: vm.kmem_size_max=419430400
