I am new to the list, so forgive me if this is a FAQ: I have a Slack system running a patched 2.2.17 kernel with raidtools 0.90 that is running RAID 1 on 2 internal 20 GB IDE drives (one on each bus). Periodically, and now happening more frequently, the machine will partially freeze. I cannot login into the machine, but the IP address still answers. Here is my fstab: /dev/md0 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/md1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/md2 /var ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/md3 /home ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 Here is my raidtab: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 4 device /dev/hda1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdb1 raid-disk 1 # failed-disk 1 # # raiddev /dev/md1 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 4 device /dev/hda2 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdb2 raid-disk 1 # # raiddev /dev/md2 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 4 device /dev/hda3 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdb3 raid-disk 1 # # raiddev /dev/md3 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 4 device /dev/hda4 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdb4 raid-disk 1 I suspect that "maybe" my swap on md0 is causing the problem, but that is a guess since I have nothing in the logs up to the time the machine failed that indicates a problem. Does anything jump out at you? Chris Zimmerman
