with a deafault insatallation there may be lots of processes running in the background, started automatically in the system startup. list the processes using "ps -ea " and try disabling some not required at the time. continues disk activity means heavy swap operations. cheers..... roy --- denniswj@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: I have redhat 9 on my computer and have problems where every four hours, I have to reboot the computer otherwise it will lock up.When it does lock up there's continued activity withe hard drive. I do not have any other software only redhat text version no GUI and only use it for VOIP IRLP.Other users of the software have not indicated that there is a problem that may cause the leak. I have 128 megs RAM 40 GIG hard drive (new) with a 350mhz processor I am told by the Developers of the VOIP software that the 128 mb ram is far above whats needed to run software. Not being a full on linux i can only guess my suspicions. I suspect that it is a memory leak problem and can anyone suggest a fix for this problem.
