I have a new (but cheap) 266MHz P-II with 128Mb of memory and 3*2940s. Two of
the 2940s have 4*4Gb external disks attached, with some old Sun disks and an
Exabyte on the first 2940. I've had loads of problems with the 2*4*4Gb disks,
which I've eventually (I think) traced to our purchasing people saving a
couple of pounds on the SCSI cables -- new cables, no problem, so far...
To make sure I've ironed out the problems with the external disks, cabling,
etc, I've been running "newfs;sync;fsck;sync" on each disk, concurrently.
Every so often, I get:
pid 519 (fsck), uid 0: exited on signal 8 (core dumped)
I've looked at the core dump stack trace, but it doesn't make sense to me,
particularly as it's an intermittent problem, about once per hour. I've built
a kernel with the npx flags set to 0x7 (grasping at straws), but it's still
happening.
This is a 2.2-STABLE system, about a week old.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
TIA,
Ian.
