<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Hi all, <p>i'm experiencing a very annoying problem with the server that is the <br>file server for my company ( i'm trying to make them believe in Linux <br>but some people are starting to laugh :-( ) <p>It's an AMD K6-2 400 on an epox motherboard, 128MB RAM , IBM IDE HDD , <br>AHA 2940 SCSCI card on which i've plugged a IOMEGA JAZ and an intel <br>ehterexpress pro 100 NIC card. <p>since the beginnig ( kernel 2.2.x ) i've been experiencing a lot of <br>random system hangs ( no messages on the console or in the log files ). <br>The only way after such a hang is to do a hard reset. <br>I know some other people have been experiencing the problem and i've <br>also seen on kernel traffic ( <A HREF="http://www.kt.opensrc.org/">http://www.kt.opensrc.org/</A> ) that Alan Cox <br>found some interesting problems in the inode_truncate functions. <br>>From the 2.2.10 patch, it seems that some changes have been made to this <br>part of the kernel but for me, it made things WORSE: i had two hangs in <br>less than 24h while before ( kernel 2.2.9 and below ) the system could <br>stay up for a few days. <p>I've been running the same kernels on different systems and never had <br>the problem. It seems to be really specific to this machine. <br>It is sometime loaded ( a few users, a CVS server, a samba server for 8 <br>Windoze machines, and an http server running mod_jserv and mod_ssl ) <p>If you need more information regarding my configuration, please feel <br>free to email me, i'll be happy to help pinpoint the problem ! <p>Thansk for your help/advices <pre>-- Charles-Edouard Ruault</pre> </html>
