I upgraded the kernel on a couple of the machines to 2.6.8-rc1 (compiled with debug symbols), but now we've seen two completely different types of failures
1. The same as the old one, where a couple of processes (half dozen in this case) would get stuck in D state, but the machine was otherwise pretty much fine 2. A new one where over 1000 processes get stuck within a short period of time and leave the machine is a very fragile state (even attempts to run 'ps -auxw' freeze up)
I've placed all the results here:
http://robm.fastmail.fm/kernel/t3/
sysreqdmesg1-s1.txt - output of sysreq-t for system with a few procs in D state sysreqdmesg2-s1.txt - same again, just done a second time sysreqdmesg1-s2.txt - output of sysreq-t for system with 1000 procs in D state vmlinux.gz - kernel image, built with debug symbols config - config used to compile the kernel
Is there anything else I can provide? This problem is driving us crazy and I'd like to help in any way possible to try and get it investigated and resolved.
