There is nasty memory leak in 2.2.1. Looks like it is in VFS.
I have 4G partition, with a lot of files on it (squid cache)
Whenever I try to copy it to another one, copying never finishes
buffers and cached gets lower and lower (64M RAM), and finally
I get messages like "no memory for bash" etc. Kernel is alive,
but system is dead.
100% reproducable. 2.0.36 is fine
Hope that helps.
Bye,
Oleg
