Hm there it seems to be resetting the device

starts to just die and then i guess switches to read-only mode and i cant even use ssh to get into the machine, such that i always reset it, but when i do it just runs for 4 days max and then just dies, do you reckon it to be the hard drive that is now weak or what.

I read some time ago there is some design tradeoff for the bearings on hard drives, they can be optimized for running a long time or for stopping and starting like on a laptop drive. Maybe that is something to do with it.

Your problem does sound about the same as what I experienced, also on x86_64, mine was an nVidia chipset DFI Lanparty board.

I have since replaced that server with a smaller machine running on FC3 with but uses a lot less memory and does not complain at all.

My box was also up 24hrs being a mailserver. I replaced it with an embedded ARM board that draws 1.5W and a USB flash pen. I wrote an article about it here: http://warmcat.com/_wp/?p=5 But of course it just does my mail, not 1000 users.

Do you reckon it could be the SATA Drivers which kill the hard drives!

Sorry I don't have any answers, I dropped that machine after the second drive was killed and it is sitting in the corner looking lonely. But then I would think more people would be hitting this problem if it was simply a driver issue. Maybe it requires extended uptimes on the box in addition?

I am running an AMD 3800 x2 without any problems on the newest kernel on and gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 without any problems. I have two IDE drives and two SATA drives and everything is fine. So I have to say there is no problem with the x86_64 kernels. I have been happy so far except for the 32 bit only stuff like flash.
