<font size=3>I have had similar problems in my fully patched up FC5
system. This is especially true when I copy a large stream from a
PC to the server via SAMBA. <br><br>

I am using FC5 update kernel. So you could be right. I hav
enot been able to <br>
catch any syslog info on the issue, so hardware is very difficult to
<br>
troubleshoot. I have moved the raid around ( different bus etc.. )
changed <br>
the power supply but would like to get more info somehow. I can
crash the <br>
system by moving a mass stream of data off/on the server, so load or FS
<br>
reading/writing etc.. <br>
Ideas on how to proceed with more hardware troubleshooting?<br>
Have you found XFS more performant thatn ext3?<br>
Thanks.<br><br>
Mark<br><br>
