I suspected hard drive fault, even though there shouldnt be a problem because its running in hardware raid mode 1. the worst part of this problem is that the server can't be restarted. if i try to soft reboot it will get stuck on syncing for infinite amount of time, the other problem is if i keep it running all the performance will gradually go away, because of the stuck processes. If it try to kill the processes the shell will hang and i will have to open another one. Unfortunately theres noone there who can reboot the server. Can I get any help, its very urgent. Thanks, Petr
