What's the reason for this, and could it affect the stability of the box? The server that squirts these messages just crashed, for no apparent reason, so that's why I'm wondering. It's a UML box. Also, I'm wondering, are there any howto's for tweaking /proc settings so that the machine becomes more stable? Are there any settings for increasing the verbosity of the kernel log so that the reason for a server crashing is easier to find? Thanks in advance, and please CC me any replies :) Regards, Morten --------------enigDD6FE60C9047DA2137797A85 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBnIdWbYZVKBu9STYRAlJfAKDWy11LH3C1lNxEBy2dO6KdKgOMxACfeq3D eooHbKRRS05Bh3xQsizxkC4= =dG4O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigDD6FE60C9047DA2137797A85--
