Dear All, I've got a small server at work, built from a Via Epia SP 8000E mini-ITX motherboard and a Seagate SATA hard drive. The application of this server is to provide versioned file storage, using subversion. I'm running CentOS, with Apache 2 and SSL to provide controlled access to the subversion repositories. There have been two problems with this machine:- Problem 1 Every once in a while one of the repositories gets corrupted, which produces an error when attempting to use it with tortoisesvn or svn from another Linux box. I then have to go in as root on ssh and do svnadmin recover followed by chown -R apache:apache just to be sure, then it works again. Problem 2 The server had been running continually for maybe 70 days without problems apart from problem 1. A couple of weeks ago there was a kernel update. I rebooted the machine to run the new kernel in case it included security fixes, and at 23:00 on Thursday night it died. When I came in on Friday morning it was sat there with the hard drive permanently lit and not responding. I had to push the reset button to get it going again. /var/log/messages entries from this incident follow:- Feb 2 21:01:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[1399]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Feb 2 21:01:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[1399]: session closed for user root Feb 2 22:01:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[1403]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Feb 2 22:01:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[1403]: session closed for user root Feb 2 23:00:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[1407]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Feb 3 09:10:02 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Feb 3 09:10:02 localhost syslog: syslogd startup succeeded At 23:00 on Thursday crond would have been running a bash script to do a daily dump of the repositories. BTW the server is supplied by an APC UPS so there should be no issues with mains power supply problems. As I'm not running on Intel hardware, does anybody know of any issues with running CentOS on Via motherboards with Eden processors? Thanks. Dave Fletcher
