Mandy 9.0, 2GB RAM, 500MB swap, Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz
CPU...locks up on a simple tar!!!!
Then i only have to reboot. Thats the only thing i can
do!!

Can't figure out whats causing it!! What can be
causing this?? tar is for a 5GB directory (largest
file mandrake iso 650Mb), on a RAID array , sda, local
to this server.
