[Bug 304660] Re: extensive disk writing may cause out of memory error

[Kent Tong]

It's an HP Proliant DL385 AMD Opteron™ model 265 1.8GHz - 1MB L2 dual-
core (see
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantdl385/specifications.html).
2G RAM. No swap originally but now has 2.5G swap (since then the problem
no longer occurs).

The disk space is ("df -m"):

"uname -r" returns 2.6.15-52-amd64-server.

The USB disk (/dev/sda) has about 280G. It's a Buffalo DriveStation
Combo HD-CEIU2 (http://www.buffalotech.com/products/external-
drives/drivestation/drivestation-combo-hd-ceiu2). However, I don't think
it's related to the brand of the USB disk as it happened with our Maxtor
OneTouch USB disks too in the past.
