Oki, found a motherboard BIOS upgrade (from R2.10 to R2.31). That seems to have made a BIG difference. Ether the actual upgrade or the fact that the flashing wiped my option configurations, only changed the most important stuff (like no BIOS caching, no APM etc).
Now, can I trust that this fixes the problem? The machine is usually standing on a 2Mbit link 100 kilometers from here, and I can't ask the person that have the machine standing in the server room to constantly reboot and check the system.
Currently I'm loading the disks with two (similar) shell scripts like this:
----- s n i p ----- echo "Stressing SCSI channels " while `true`; do TEMPFILE=`tempfile -d . -p test.` dd if=/dev/urandom of=$TEMPFILE count=10000 2>&1 > /dev/null rm -f $TEMPFILE echo done ----- s n i p -----
The directory that dd is writing to, is two. One on sda5 and one on sda1.
Partitioning the third disk now, going to run same script on that partition to, but can I trust this? Is there any other way to really STRESS the disks/channels?
