[SCore-users] stock kernel unstable in Redhat 7.3

[Amik St-Cyr CFD Lab]

Hi,

	The new 5.2 and 5.0.1 versions of SCore 
are using for head-node (5.0.1) RH-7.3 and compute
nodes in 5.2 are using RH-7.3.

	The kernel patch in score is based on 
kernel 2.4.18-3 but serious stability bugs related
to I/O and NFS v3 can cause machine to hang up / crash.

A kernel update can be found on the RH site:

http://lwn.net/Articles/3593/

...
64984 - Redhat 7.3: nfs writes very slow.
66143 - System hang after 5-12 h IO stress - flushtlb problem?
...

Updated kernel is named 2.4.18-5 on the RH site.

I was wondering if this could be updated in both distributions?

Thank you very much,


Amik St-Cyr
