[Wolves] Crash Help Please.

[Gary]

Hi David,
	We have several APC Back-ups-650 or others on our systems, although
thinking about this, I'm not 100% sure if these ups' were on these servers
at the time, but they are now ! We have about 8 servers all on the same
power feed, and it was just weird how only our SuSE 9.1 servers were playing
up. Compiling a new kernel seemed to have reduced the regularity of the
problem, so I was just thinking it could have been some problem with their
kernel ?

	Anyhow, they seem to be working fine at the moment, so I'm not going
to play around with anything. The things I have changed are:- compiling a
new kernel 2.6.7 and moving from EXT3 to reiser (as we had to alter
ext3_fs.h to accommodate more that 32000 directories on ext3, reiser already
allows this), and confirming UPS connection.
	Lets hope they stay problem free for now.

	Thanks for all your help. I hope I can be of help to others within
this group at some stage.


Gary

Gary,

Are you using any sort of UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply)?

For it to happen to all machines, I'd suspect that there is a common
problem. Perhaps you have a naff electric supply?

I'd be reluctant to blame it on SuSE personally, as I suspect they test
their distro very well, and any problem you have should have been
experienced by many others already.

David.
