Hi,
I've read a few messages here lately about people having unexplained
crashes and have been thankful that I've not seem to much trouble. I've
become increasingly convinced, however, that I AM having trouble:
Approximately every two weeks, my mail/NIS/WWW server crashes with no
warning, and leaves nothing in the messages file to indicate what the
problem is.
My system is: P/90 with 48 megs ram, NCR 825 SCSI controller,
1.2 gig SCSI-2 drive, 4 gig SCSI-2 WIDE drive
I'm running a 2.1-STABLE kernel on a 2.05-R installation.
It's a NIS master for another FreeBSD box, where users' home dirs
are actually located. The home dirs off of the second box and an
RS/6000 are NFS mounted. People can read their mail while at other
machines by running an imap (pine) or POP3 (eudora) client, or they
can telnet in and use pine locally.
Quotas are in place on the partition mounted as /var/mail .
Any ideas/theories/silly_notions why my box might decide to reboot
every 2 weeks? Other than this fluke, it works great.
thanks,
---
