<br><br>Hi Ryan,<br><br>I'm wondering if your situation might be similar to<br>mine but you've certainly checked more possible<br>troublespots than I did, I just got lucky with the<br>timing of my request ;-)<br><br>I was experiencing what I thought were lockups when
<br>deleting recorded programs, either through the<br>interface or via MythWeb. Turns out it wasn't a<br>lockup (although the interface and/or Mythweb became<br>frozen, and puTTY'ing in did not work). The freeze<br>was temporary (lasting a few to several minutes) and
<br>related to deleting *large* files from my ext3<br>filesystem. As far as I can tell, it's been remedied<br>by switching to XFS for my program storage drive (only<br>five days of testing so far).<br><br>Just a thought, not *entirely* your situation but
<br>close enough that I thought I'd post. If your<br>curious, you can search for my threads from the past<br>week and change.<br><br>Best,<br> Steve<br><br><br><br><br>__________________________________<br>Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005

<br><br>However, I can induce a hard lockup on my box very easily. If I run a very data intensive process I _will_ get a hard lockup. I have moved commercial detection to my slave backend beacuse every 2-3 months I will get a hard lockup if I have a lot of commercial detection jobs running. Transcoding also causes issues. Of course I have an nforce2 chipset and I believe that it is the root of the problem. The only solace I can give you is that I have managed to configure my box to have really good uptime by keeping the large intensive jobs on the slave.
