Topic: Server Crash?

[Daniel Oliver]

The network packet logs are DHCP requests being broadcast from another machine.  Is there a rouge machine on your network pounding Apache, DHCP and possibly other services?

Daniel,

How would I find out if there was a computer doing this? Our SME does not provide DHCP to the network, only acts as an internet gateway/firewall and email server.

Ray,

Here's the results from running memtester overnight:

37 runs completed.  0 errors detected.  Total runtime:  71201 seconds.

So i guess that it's working fine............ might try reseating it and sourcing some new ram for it just in case though.

Thanks to all for the help, muchly appreciated!

Cyrus,

Module xd.o as mentioned in the messages log in your first post is the disk controller module.

I can create the exact same logs if I do a sfdisk -l.

Cyrus Bharda,
did you ever find out what was causing the crash.  
Did you use the lat tools to set quotas on users or did you manually set quotas?  Having the same problem and it seems to be related to quotas.

I used the lat tools to gloally set quotas.  I used the command:
lat-quota -c "* |9M |10M"

After this, server crashes continually on useradd or copying in MC.

Any thoughts?

Hi Skavenger,

I used the lat tools to gloally set quotas. I used the command:
lat-quota -c "* |9M |10M"

After this, server crashes continually on useradd or copying in MC.

I only just came across the above posting. Did you work out what was causing your problem? I tried the lat-quota command with the same syntax on several machines and it always worked as expected.

Did your server really crash (i.e. reboot)?

BTW, you should NEVER use useradd (or userdel) on a SME machine. It will break all kinds of user settings.

regards,
Michiel
