Hi list we have a freshly installed FreeBSD 6.2 machine with a gstriped external disk, of 5.3Tb. The disk is composed of two slices of 2.6 Tb. We are trying to have a (background) fsck of it but few hours later since the start of the check the host get unresponsive: it responds to ping but it doesn't let login anyone, nor by ssh nor by console. In the meanwhile we are having a large rsync from another host. Tonight during the fsck/rsync we had a reboot, without special messages on the console. We have 1Gb of RAM on this server. Is 1Gb too small as memory to have a fsck and a rsync on a server with 5.3Gb as external disk? Thanks for your precious help Valerio Daelli Server: i386 - HP DL360 CPU pentium4 1Gb RAM HBA: LSI Logic 929 External disk: Apple XRAID with upgraded firmware
