The machine usually runs for several hours without any problem, but then processes start dying, apparently fairly randomly, the load goes up, >nd vmstat shows CPU as near 100% idle. I *think* it's something to do with writing to the drive, since one of the first things to die is syslogging. Anything that doesn't touch the drive (eg, IRC clients) seem to run forever. One thing that really k >lls it seems to be daily maintenance around 6am; I can see mail being delivered until then, and after that it queues on my backup MX. The only way to get the machine back is to pull the power - shutdown -r now hangs, presing the power button gets s >utdown started but still hangs, and the TOC doesn't seem to produce any output on my serial console. I've only seen a process die in ffront of me once, when I was exiting from a bash session; the machine just sat there with no i/o, ps aux showed the >bash session stuck in D state, and I couldn't ctrl-c or ctrl-z out of it at all. Prior to this I was running 2.4.18 with no problem with the machine running for months at a time. Has anyone seen this problem and/or got any tips on how to figure o >t what's going wrong? I can't find any error output anywhere that's hinting what could be wrong, so I'm really stuck on this one. I've attached my .config, dmesg and cpuinfo in case anyone can see anything obvious. Thanks for any help!
