Description of problem: After enabling cachefilesd, the server kernel panics after only a few files are read via nfs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cachefilesd-0.7-6.el5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure cachefilesd to cache to /var/fscache on an install with standard RH partitioning. 2. start cachefilesd 3. start to pull files over nfs for serving with httpd. Actual results: The entire system crashes, we do not see any record left in the logs of why. This does not happen when cachefilesd is not enabled. Expected results: The system should at worst not kernel panic.
on further investigation, this appears to happen only if the cache is invalidated by an updated (or newly created) file.
Would it be possible to get an oops back trace?
This has been NEEDINFO for 8 months. It may be a duplicate of BZ#279431 - kernel panic when using rhel5.1 and fscache but we need a stack trace to know, or to otherwise make any progress on this. Will you be able to test this again?
