Re: VM in 2.4.10(+tweaks) vs. 2.4.9-ac14/15(+stuff)

[Robert Macaulay]

We've tried the 2.4.10 with vmtweaks2 on out machine with 8GB RAM. It was 
looking good for a while, until it just stopped. Here is what was 
happening on the machine.

I was ftping files into the box at a rate of about 8MB/sec. This continued 
until all the RAM was in the  cache column. This was earlier in the 
included vmstat output. The I started a dd if=/dev/sde of=/dev/null in a 
new window.

All was looking good until it just stopped. I captured the vmstat below. 
vmstat continued running for about 1 minute, then it died too. What other 
info can I provide?
