Hi Folks, This is my first post here, and unfortunately it's to ask for help in figuring out a kernel panic I am running into. The machine in question has run fine without problem for quite some time, running as a database/web server. It has an identical (hardware) twin that performs essentially the same functions, but which has not had any kernel panics. The only recent change I've made of note before the kernel panics started, is to set up an NFS share on both of those machines, each of which is mounted by three other machines. It seems like whenever there is any more than a negligible amount of activity over those NFS shares, that one machine gets a kernel panic. There are a relatively large number and size of files in each of the shares (70+ gigabytes, 10,000+ files), organized into directories so there aren't more than 100 or so files in any given directory. I'm not doing anything "weird" over the NFS either, just reading and writing zip files. I've never run into a kernel panic before (lucky?) and I can't find much information about analyzing the wreckage. I don't believe any log files are saved of the event. Otherwise, I would provide more information.
I would recommend enabling diskdump or netdump to get a core file. Once you have that, you should be able to get a backtrace from your favorite kernel debugger. That should give you a better idea of what is causing your machine to panic. - Ryan -- UNIX Administrator http://prefetch.net _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
