by I have been experiencing VM problems with the host linux kernel when
running UMLs. These have generally been swap_dup errors under vanilla
kernel trees, so I proceeded to patch my kernel with the rmap patch to
see if this would make any difference.
I experienced the following problem this afternoon, on a system running
2.4.19-ck7-rmap, which required a reboot before UML would continue to
work correctly. If anyone needs more information, let me know - I can't
actually reproduce this on demand, but it seems to occur reasonably
frequently. I'm confident that it is not a hardware issue, as I have
tested the system under load, and have had it happily swap out a couple
of Gb to disk, then back into RAM without any problems. Someone
suggested that it may be because I'm swapping to a LVM LV, but I've no
idea if that is actually a contributing factor or not.
