Done that, no problems found. (Most drives are e3fs.) 2.4.21's crashed once more since then, network driver death; I'm probably going to revert to 2.4.20 on that box, which ran perfectly since three days past 2.4.20's release. (However, several other boxes had problems with 2.4.20 which were cleared up with .21... you win some, you lose some. I'd say this has been a net gain.) I'll see if 2.4.20 has the same problems; if it does, then I agree, the RAM's probably had it. -- `It is an unfortunate coincidence that the date locarchive.h was written (in hex) matches Ritchie's birthday (in octal).' -- Roland McGrath on the libc-alpha list - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
