There was a kernel upgrade but that was over three months ago. I have tried to replicate the situation (it went down both times when I was creating a tar.bz2) without luck. I'm thinking of installing an snmpd and then perhaps cacti or similar on another system to poll and keep histories of various data. That's a good idea. -- [email protected] mailing list
