It hangs, solid. No ssh, dead to the network, console dead, etc. No reboot... I've come back to a hung machine after a weekend, and it was still hung. Once it hangs, I can't get anything on a console or anything. Nothing makes it down to the logs, either, as far as I can tell. The machine is a PowerEdge 2850, the controller is a PERC 4e/Di. -michal ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
