Greetings all, My RAID1 RH6.2 outtadabox setup (using their GUI install) with all RH bugfixes and security updates through 9/18/00 failed yesterday erasing all of my content. I was running it as a (mostly) webserver, with one main host and ~20 Virtual Hosts, each with their respective access_log and error_log. The machine ran with load (about 50,000 requests per day) for five days. Machine specs: 2 PIII-450MHZ CPUs, 2 20GB Seagate HDs, 512 MB RAM I had my content (/opt) on one partition and the logs (/var) on another. Nothing out of the ordinary on the partition setup, though it was custom and not stock. Any clues on what would have been the cause, would be appreciated cuz this really shakes my faith.
