An individual partition will stop responding, all processes that try and access it will just sit there waiting and you have to reboot the server. I've been using a mixture of IDE drives and they all do this. I thought it might be the motherboard so i've installed a pci ide controller card, had same effect. I've tried accessing files over usb devices as a finial ditch effort but it also does it there also so i am sure it is in the kernel and not the hardware that is at fault. Kernels I've tried. Linux 2.6.5, Linux 2.4.18 To re-create the problem on an alpha, copy directories around from one partition to another. Have several copies going at once, do a few hdparm -t -T as well and generally provides a lock up within an hour. I am running a mixture of ext3 and xfs for partitions. cpu : Alpha cpu model : SimulateLCA4 cpu variation : 7 cpu revision : 0 cpu serial number : system type : Nautilus system variation : 0 system revision : 0 system serial number : cycle frequency [Hz] : 796423125 est. timer frequency [Hz] : 1024.00 page size [bytes] : 8192 phys. address bits : 44 max. addr. space # : 255 BogoMIPS : 1586.36 kernel unaligned acc : 1939 (pc=fffffc000101e7e0,va=fffffffc004af731) user unaligned acc : 0 (pc=0,va=0) platform string : ATEK1000 800 MHz cpus detected : 1 L1 Icache : unknown L1 Dcache : unknown L2 cache : unknown L3 cache : unknown nfsd 137824 8 -
