1) a corrupt reiserfs volume CAN lock up your server. For this reason, I no longer use reiserfs--especially for Dirvish. 2) a swap partition existed on a drive that had failed[*]. Losing that swap space corrupted memory and sent the server down. 3) a drive associated with a dirvish bank went south and took out the server (presumably because the reiserfs got corrupt -- another reason why I don't use reiserfs) [*]Note to self, when using software RAID1, raid the swap partition too! :) -- Richard _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
