[haiku-gsoc] Re: [HCD]: Bfs bug #1

Another test. Different approach, different behavior.

To try and support my thesis about "starvation", I ran the test on vmware
and left the computer, while usually I used to use it regurarly while running
the test, so this time teorically all CPU would have been reserved to
Haiku, and thus the low memory thread should have been able to free the
vnode in 10 seconds.

The test this time in fact, last 3 hours before crashing (nice nap by
the way :-) ),
with the same error, but the output of tar was quite different. See
screenshot attached.
Any comments?

Anyway, I wanted to test with condition variable, but I'm not sure on
how to proceed, despite of that
though, I think we should hanle the error E_BUSY differently, because
10 seconds with our current
scheduler, and with not I/O scheduler doesn't seem to be a good choice
on slow system like running
on vmware is.

Anyway, is Marcus subscribed to this mailing list? What does he think
about the possibility of being
a scsi problem?
