Combined NFS server / mythfront end box. Mythbackend on another machine uses
the NFS.
I have a 1TB software raid ( 4 x 320 IDE drives ) and a single sata drive (
FC5 OS is on it ).
About every week or 10 days, this box just up and dies. No /var/log/messages
entries ( you just see the reboot ), nothing on the screen etc...
I have a 410 watt power supply, a couple of fans, it seems cool, low load
etc....
I am not sure what could be causing this and I am getting no info from it that
helps me diagnose it further. SMART tests on the disks show all OK. It does
seem to be load related because I have reproduced it once by transfering a
hundred or so gigs of data into it and it died then.
FC5, mdadm raid..
The RAID is broken into one drive per bus ( onboard primary and secondary and
an IDE PCI card with pri and sec as well ) I use to have all 4 drives on the
master/slave of the built in IDE ports, but broke them up into their own bus
as I thought that might be causing this.
Any thoughts on what to try, look for, etc....?
Thanks!
Mark
