 Posted: Wed Apr 28, 2004 11:10 am Post subject: [FiXED] Server freezes while copying |
 |
|
I've had problems with my server (running vanilla 2.4.26 atm) lately. When I copy files from my samba share on it, after a time (usually after 10 GB of data) the machine just hangs. No response at all from a ssh session and even when I hook up a keyboard to the box it's still frozen. This happens every time I try to copy files.
But if I copy in smaler chunks and pause between every copy, I can get the server going pretty long. And when the box is just idling (just some eggdrops running) it never freezes. This same behavior also occured when I was copying files from one drive to another internally, but this time it happened after copying large amounts of data (100GB). So, to sum it up, everytime I stress the machine with copying, it just hangs after a certain time. Every time I have to hard-reboot to get it back.
Thinking that this was maby a software problem, I tried bot 2.4 and 2.6 vanilla kernels, both without luck. This could ofcource also be a hardware problem, but I have checked all parts (cpu, ram, hdd's etc) for overheating, and they're all cool. I was thinking that it also could be a samba bug, but when the computer froze with just normal cp, I ruled that out.

Nothing wrong here it seems, just some cron-jobs before it suddenly freezes, and i have to restart.

| I'd think of IRQ or DMA problems. Sure you use the right (workaround enabled if available) driver ? Try switching off DMA on HD and comapre how it goes. |

I searched a bit around, seems there are a bug with the nforce2 chipset. Tried to pass "noapic nolapic acpi=off" to the kernel, but no luck.
Btw, where can I disable APIC in menuconfig for the 2.6 kernels? |

| Emerged mm sources, works like a charm now. Seems the nvida paches worked. There were no need to disable APIC when using this kernel. |
