Subject: Server hanging
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2003 14:32:59 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3EFB2E4B.904@fi.uba.ar> (raw)

Hello:
   I'm administering a server with RedHat 7.3 installed, it runs the 
mail server (pop, imap and webmail), web server, and two or three minor 
services. It has an Athlon running an 1.3 GHz, 512 MB of DDR, and two 
SCSI disk running at 80 MHz in RAID 0 by software. The load average in 
the order of 2 to 3 is quite common.
   The problem is that it hangs more or less once a week and our 
internal discussions are escalating to physical agression in two or 
three days :-). What is puzzling us is that it doesn't tell anything on 
what is happening, but it seems that it stops reading the disk and the 
kernel doesn't panic, as it answers pings and once I was logged in and 
was able to type commands (of course, if I hit enter nothing happens).
   Well, any ideas to avoid the bloodshed (am I spelling it correctly?) 
will be apreciated. Thanks,

			Darío
