2.4.18 and 2.4.19 both have bad karma, just search for kernel, 2.4.18, 2.4.19, ext3, filesystem, and corruption ...

I would not draw too many conclusions from that as well, because if you take a closer look, you'll probably find a dozen of things these systems have in common ... - using IDE drives? - using ext2/ext3? - patched with ctx-NN ;) - SMP /non SMP? also check for features introduced/included/selected in the kernels ... the minimum you would need to make some minimum cross relation would be - all kernel configurations - the distributions/configurations - I/O modules active (MD, LVM, IDE, SCSI, ...) - memory/harddisk configurations Nevertheless I am sure the information is there, and if it can be combined/evaluated maybe one or the other cause/bug could be found ... (although I doubt, that this will become reality, because nobody would give out access to all his configuration/logging information ...) best, Herbert PS: SMP machines perform _MUCH_ better as physical vserver hosts than non-SMP machines. I had otherwise identical machines in production, and the SMP machine was more than 10 times faster, regarding the response time to connections/logins/etc ...
