Hi,

today i tried to burn a cd (bin+cue image) that was located on an nfs share.

- boot 2.6.8-rc3
- startx
- start k3b
- burn image

after ~50% of burning the mouse stopped moving over the screen. the keyboard was dead.

the maschine was reachable via network, so i ssh'd and saw the following in dmesg:

The maschine in an acer travelmate 291lci with 512 mb ram.

i saved the output of /proc/{slapinfo,meminfo,vmstat} and rebooted. i'll let you know, if i can reproduce it

please let me know, if you need any other information and output.

thanks, sebastian

What sort of CD was it? Audio? Judging by k3b.org, I'd say it was.

All your memory seems to have gone away. There's a memory leak associated with audio writing which we haven't yet tracked down - it's probably that.

since it was an svcd, it may not be this one.

i tried to burn the image again, while not being on an nfs share. but i got the same problem again.

with 2.6.8-rc2 i can burn this image. (from nfs share or local) -> no problem.

so it may be 2.6.8-rc3 related.

thanks
