Please forgive me for interpreting without suggesting how to fix, but the interpretation might be useful. Is there any chance of trying out the 2.6.16 UML kernel on a 2.6.16 host? Version skew, particularly backwards, is very plausible as an explanation for all of these. Also be sure that the guest and host are similar in wordsize, i.e. 32bit vs 64bit.

If /dev/ubda were involved, the guest kernel would "know" that only it could change the data, so file data in kernel memory buffers stays valid indefinitely. But that isn't true for a remote filesystem, and I have no clue why the guest's "hardware" interface didn't stat the host's inode, realize that the file had been modified, and invalidate the cached blocks. > 3) what do these messages mean: > > setitimer: mpr (pid = 1646) provided invalid timeval it_value: tv_sec = 0 > tv_usec = 1790000 > setitimer: mpr (pid = 1646) provided invalid timeval it_value: tv_sec = 0 > tv_usec = 1943000 The microsecond field shows 1 sec + 7.90e5 usec or 1 sec + 9.43e5 usec, which could very well give your app indigestion. But again I have no clue why it happened. Blame it on the 64bit issue? I hope some of this helps! James F.
