Nope. To this date I wasn't running anything of the sort. I ran a few selftest now though.. Nothing happened..

This happens every now and then.. Sometimes once a week or once a month. Sometimes it's once per hour. I can't correlate this behaviour with any activity that the box in question is doing (mysql, nfsd)..

I've had those problems for at least a month. ;/
I just have no clue what's wrong with the damn thing.
