I have been running Mandrake 7.1 with ReiserFS and periodically (every 5-6
days) the system quits working.
It doesn't crash, but I cannot run any new programs. When I try to enter a
command on the command line, it never executes or returns (it just hangs).
Pressing the 'reset' button is the only way to recover. After that, it
reboots and runs fine (until the same thing happens again).
I cannot find any error messages in the system log files, so I have not
been able to figure out the cause of the problem. This system is running
as a mail server, but is not heavily loaded.
I have several other systems with identical hardware and software (Celeron
500, 8 MB IDE, 256MB), and they don't have this problem. Any idea how to
troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks,
Jeff Groves
