It's a complete system hang, only power switch will restart. The memory appears to be OK and the crash doesn't happen during the puppet run. But no other consistant change was made to these systems other than they were puppeted, it's only effected RHEL4 32-bit systems w/o swap BUT those might be the only systems we have that don't have swap. It hit a few systems more than once before we found the pattern, but it hasn't happened on a system where swap was activated.
I'm from the "always have swap" school, but some people don't like it.... I'm winning them over! On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 2:12 PM, Andrew Shafer <[email protected]>wrote: > > What crashes exactly?
