Hello,
I have 2way Opteron machine. I've done this:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
and then strace stat /proc:
[snip]
personality(PER_LINUX) = 4194304
getpid() = 14926
brk(0) = 0x804b000
brk(0x804b1a0) = 0x804b1a0
brk(0x804c000) = 0x804c000
stat("/proc", 0xbf8e7490) = -1 EOVERFLOW
When I do echo 1 > ... to start cpu again then the stat starts
to work again ... Weird.
Hello,
I just want to make more info public. It seems that the problem is deeper.
The 2.6.18 kernel crashed the machine 4 times till now. Symptoms are - working
net, ssh was functional but I was not able to run single binary except "cat",
others giving me permission denied of Bus error.
I was doing no experiments with cpu hotplug this time. The machine was up
with 2.6.17.1 for six months and no problems.
Also I found weird errors like tg3 watchdog timeout, sata read errors (on all
sectors) etc. on console. Seems like memory corruption to me. It is worth to
note that the lockup always occured after high load.
We use MSI Far2 dual opteron MoBo.
All related info is at http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/files/2618-corrupt/ along
with 2.6.17.1 config (for comparison).
The main problem is that I have no similar server to simulate the problem
off-site. Thus take this report mainly as informative, I hope to replace
the server in a few weeks to investigate it more. For now we are back on
2.6.17.1.
