Let me take a wild guess - you're using xfs, aren't you?<br><br>There's going to be a lot of people on this list with high praise for xfs, but on a 2.6 kernel with 4k stacks, there's a high likelihood of oopsing the kernel, especially when layered with raid and nfs. ext3 works just fine with myth, and it's *stable*.

<br>The RAID is broken into one drive per bus ( onboard primary and secondary and<br>an IDE PCI card with pri and sec as well ) I use to have all 4 drives on the<br>master/slave of the built in IDE ports, but broke them up into their own bus
