Actually, I was burning audio CDs at the time. The command line should be cdrecord -v dev=/dev/scd0 speed=4 driveropts=burnfree -multi -pad -audio 45min.wav I downgraded to the 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel to see if I could reproduce the problem. I do notice that a lot of memory moves from free to cached under the 2.6.7 kernel. I suppose this is normal. I can't remember if this happened under 2.6.8 Just to add a "me too" that this issue occurs with me using "cdrdao write --device /dev/cdrom --driver generic-mmc audiocd.toc " /dev/cdrom->/dev/hdd. Rebooted under 2.6.6 and all was normal. Logs don't provide useful information except the auto killing of certain procs. This is probably http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm3/broken-out/bio_uncopy_user-mem-leak.patch See also bug #132180 this should be fixed in the latest updates. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; YComp 5.0.0.0; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I upgraded to 2.6.8-1.521. Everything was fine until I tried to write to my USB CD recorder. If I run top, I can see the amount of free memory drop rapidly during the write until the system starts killing processes. This did not happen on previous kernels Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.8-1.521 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attach a CD-RW drive to the USB2 interface 2. cdrecord -v dev=/dev/scd0 blank=fast driveropts=burnfree speed=10 - tao 1.iso 3. Run top in a different virtual console. Watch the free memory drop Actual Results: System runs out of memory (free memory drops by about 500k /sec. Expected Results: Free memory should stay more or less constant Additional info:
