I believe I have encountered this bug also. I am running dovecot on systems ranging from Celeron 450MHz to dual-core Athlon, and these machines freeze between once several hours to once per day and were not usable as mail servers. I will try turning off dovecot on my machine to see if it helps. I'm also happy to test any kernel updates you might issue. I too believe I have encountered this but. I run Dovecot. Already fixed, 2.6.27.10 is in the queue, and you can pick it up from the "kernel-of-the-day" site right now if you want to test and verify it's resolved for you. I can confirm that KOTD 2.6.27.10 fixes this problem JFYI, we are planning to release a 11.1 update soon, including this patch. Me too, no appearance of this issue with KOTD 2.6.27.10, or Factory 2.6.27.10. Thanks guys. hmmm, this bug is marked as resolved about one month ago, but until now, it isn't possible to fix running systems with an normal command like zypper up..... browsing through the different available repos is more confusing then helping. on 2009-01-07 Greg Kroah-Hartman wrote: Already fixed, 2.6.27.10 is in the queue ... but until now not avaibale through a normal update. and the hint to get it over kotd is not very helpfull, because Repos like http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/SL111_BRANCH/openSUSE_11.1/ did not deliver 2.6.27.10 i only get 2.6.27.8 :( hello opensuse/novell wake up. this is an very important bug...... I agree. Jeff, what's the status on pushing the 11.1 kernel out to the update servers? We're still sorting out the kABI issues. Kai, in the interim, if you're willing to deal with kABI breakage again (only important if you're using third-party modules), you can use a fixed kernel from http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/SL111_BRANCH/ Kernel update available, could you please test if issue is solved? It should be, just for clarity and then close as fixed please =) Linux ken 2.6.27.19-3.2-default #1 SMP 2009-02-25 15:40:44 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Speaking for myself, so far so good, after running with it for 4 hours. I use dovecot. I have updated as well. I was seeing this problem with the samba service. It's been about 2 weeks and have not seen the runaway, unkillable processes since upgrading the kernel. I've been running the 2.6.27.19-3.2-pae kernel on my DoveCot server without any problems for two days. tahnks for the reports! -> fixed :) *** Bug 471410 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
