This is a newly installed server running CentOS 4 with all current updates. It's been cruising nicely since installation a week ago until this morning. Then everyting started timing out and the attached messages appeared in the log (this is a short and sanitized extract). Load went sky high.
Had to reboot to restore service and all looks happy again now, but if anyone can provide some input on these messages...
TIA Brian
There are known (upstream :) issues with memory leaks on the 2.6.9-5.0.3 and the 2.6.9-5.0.5 kernels. Those are supposed to be fixed on the 2.6.9-11 kernel (which you should have if you are updating your kernel).
