I'm talking both hardware and software. What daemons are you running?
Anything that changed is a good thing to take a long hard look at.
Well, it's a new system that's about three years old ... it's a
home-built, most of which I bought about three years ago, and I'm
finally finishing off commissioning it.
The hard drives are new Seagate Ironwolves x2 and an old Barracuda, 32GB
of new DDR4 ram, and a Radeon 4350 video card which is also old but
hardly used.
If you have another system, remote syslog might also be something to
add into the mix. I also really like serial consoles, so you can
capture all the output onto another system easily.
Hardware bought for this system is being re-purposed into a raid
test-bed so I will hopefully have one available soon (if anyone in SE
London has any 1TB drives they don't want, they'll be welcome for
this... :-)
It might also be useful to try going back to an older kernel, but I
haven't a clue how hard that is with gentoo. Does the distro still
expect you to compile everything and bootstrap yourself these days?
Pretty much. There are utilities that make it un-necessary, but it's
easy enough and encouraged ... so my trouble COULD be as simple as a
misconfigured kernel ...
But all this will be a learning experience :-)
Cheers,
