We would like to trace that, if you could help us. Could you read the session on the handbook on kernel debugging, get a crash dump, and send us the backtrace? Also, more information is needed. From the above, it would seem that no network is involved. Can you confirm that? What is(are) the SCSI interface(s) you are using? What mount options are you using? Are you using softupdates? Is there any chance you may have run out of space/inodes/swap? Do these backups stop at random points? Are there any crashes at any other time? -- Daniel C.
