description: Kernel stab53.5 was very stable for me under heavy load but with stab54.1 I'm seeing hard lockups - the Alt-Sysrq keys don't work, only the power or reset button will do the trick. I don't have a serial console set up so I'm not able to capture the kernel panic message and backtrace. I think I'll need to get that set up in order to go any further with this.

description: Thanks for the pointer to the article, that's good info. I've checked my system, and I'm nowhere near the limit of space or inodes. To further test, I create a ploop CT which contains the expected amount of disk space. I then create a simfs CT with the same disk size settings, and it only has half the expected disk size. I then create another ploop CT and it contains the expected amount of disk space. If the 2nd CT which I created failed to get the requested disk space due to shortage on the system, then it's difficult to see how the 3rd CT could then get the full disk space requested. So there seems to be something funny going on with the disk size calculation of simfs CTs in stab54.2.
