Hello people I'm using 'afio -o -Z -s 12000m /dev/st0' to backup my system. During this backup, I stop any server application from running on the server (by that I mean -- services that don't come with the standard Red Hat disto). This backup starts after my system boots, so it has a pretty clean memory to begin with. Any suggestions to why my system occasionally hangs during backup? When it doesn't hang, I sometimes get an 'Unable to handle paging request' on gzip. Here is my system spec: Dual Pentium III 500 Mhz 256MB RAM 1 Adaptec 2940U2W/Dual channel (AIC 7890) SCSI Controller 1 Adaptec 2940UW SCSI Controller 2 Fujitsu SCSI hard disks (each attached to a different controller) 3COM 3C905B Ethernet NIC Python 04106 DDS-3(12/24 DAT) Tape Drive Software: RedHat 6.1 "Out of the box" afio 2.4.2 The following applications are NOT running during backup: Lotus domino R5 beta 2 (5.0.2) Intersystems Cache 3.1.2 Pervasive.SQL 2000 MySQL 2.22.30 Thanks in advance Isaac Aaron ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
