I'd not previous put 2 and 2 together on this but Im now fairly sure that this is a direct relationship
I've had 3 crashes on 2.1.119 on my test web server. One was during a backup and the other two were within an hour of a tape backup. In all 3 cases the machine simply froze solid.
About 300Mb of the backup is over NFS so Im not sure if the tape or NFS side of things are to blame
Its a buslogic 946 controller, with a WangDAT 3100, an IBM DCAS-34330 and an IBM CDRM-00201 on the chain. I'll try the scsi locking patches before I do the next backup run on it and see if the behaviour changes
