Hi Kees, Here are the answers to your questions: The root file system is ext3.
These are the contents of /proc/mdstat: Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] md0 : active raid1 sda5[0] sdb5[1] 135556352 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> And /proc/partitions: major minor #blocks name 8 0 143374744 sda 8 1 7815591 sda1 8 2 1 sda2 8 5 135556438 sda5 8 16 143374744 sdb 8 17 7815591 sdb1 8 18 1 sdb2 8 21 135556438 sdb5 8 32 71833096 sdc 8 33 71826583 sdc1 9 0 135556352 md0 Rebooting the server multiple times (I did 5 or 6 reboots) does not lead to the error. But I do have some other observations... I suspect this problem is related to running a software raid. When I first started out with this server, I had root in a RAID1 configuration as well. In that configuration, if I hammered the server via SSH, it would always crash. Here, by the way, are also the contents of /proc/mounts: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/4e63733e-df6c-42e4-8061-8f2597d20e81 / ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/4e63733e-df6c-42e4-8061-8f2597d20e81 /dev/.static/dev ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1 ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/md0 /opt ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw 0 0 And the contents of /proc/swaps: Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sdb1 partition 7815580 0 -1 I hope this helps.
