Hi all. I experienced a crash on a 2.1R system today - my first ever, and
was wondering what the cause was. I'm hoping someone can help me out here
:-)
The machine is a 486 with 24MB RAM, and a 1.7GB EIDE hard drive. The crash
"appears" to have occured when I vi'ed a 4MB file (log from the web
server). I have two theories:
1.) VM bug. It screwed up on the swap and crashed out (could be hardware
or the OS)
2.) vi killed it! I think maybe the vi.recover backup filled up /var??
Is that how vi does it's backup thing?
Here's the file system info:
mark:{31}/home/mark % df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0a 64508 27332 32012 46% /
/dev/wd0s1f 3039372 1114904 1681316 40% /usr
/dev/wd0s1e 60412 10344 45232 19% /var
procfs 8 8 0 100% /proc
I picked the standard 'auto-config' sizes for the disk slices when I setup
the machine.
Quite frankly, I'm puzzled. Do others eperience crashes like this at all?
I've had such good luck with FreeBSD so far that I think it must have been
a hardware bard that caused the crash.
Any ideas appreciated.
TIA,
-Mark
Oh yeah, the last command shows a "crash" then a "reboot".
