Hi,
I've got a fileserver that runs Centos 5.2. It's been stable
otherwise stable for maybe a year or more, and now it's crashed three
times since Saturday. The first two times the computer was completely
unresponsive, and there was nothing on the console, and nothing in the
logs. I was beginning to suspect hardware, (esp. RAM, PSU, or maybe a
failed fan)
Last night it locked up again, but this time there was something in /
var/log/messages. (see below)
So far my searches indicate that increasing to 8K kernel stacks would
fix this. The server has a couple 3ware SATA RAID cards, and I'm
running xfs. The server does nightly disk to disk backups of a few
dozen workstations. The server does always seem to crash overnight.
If the problem really is in the kernel stack size, it's odd that it
just started all of a sudden.
I thought I'd post here before I looked into compiling a new kernel
with 8K stacks. Thanks for any advice!
