Re: Couldn't get a free page.....
This is common with 2.0.33, is that the kernel version you are using?
Also, just to make folks aware of the situation, I have gotten some really
weird filesystem corruption with 2.0.33 that has (thankfully) always been
corrected by a reboot but I really do not like rebooting these systems as
I do not have physical access to them. I have dropped back to 2.0.32 for
all systems I maintain except the ones I have ready physical access to. It
does not seem to be a problem on the lightly loaded systems, just the ones
that are being pounded rather hard.
BTW, there are constant reports of memory corruption and OOPSies on the
kernel list for 2.0.33 with busy systems. The general rule of thumb is
that unless there is some feature of 2.0.33 that you simply can not live
without, use 2.0.32.
