That definatly sounds like the exact thing. Once your system would have had to return to your shell and read the disk, it would not do so. > As an aside, I discovered some things which I added/changed in my kernel > which made the machine MUCH more stable (in fact, it's been up for 2 > hours, the previous record being 3 minutes. Oh wow! Now, my problem does not occur even close to that often. Of the 2 times this has happened, it was after 11 days the first time, then 18 days the second time. > file: table is full > > I see this "file: table is full" error just now - any ideas what it means > ? That could be a definate lead to the root of our problem here. Just last night, after tring to restart my name server, I received this error message: Nov 9 03:02:40 ns named[297]: socket(SOCK_DGRAM): Too many open files - exiting I had added a few domains in there, so I assumed that I screwed something up. But, that may be somthing similar to your error there. > Oh well. Here's hoping for a soln. Looks like we may be on the right track here! Jim
