Crash

[phil_discount]

Hello,

sometimes one of my servers a suddenly down, no ping, no picture on the monitor possible.
I only can reboot the server.

in messages i found the last log before crash

Code: Select all

some people in other forums told that i have to make a kernel update to fix the problem

ViciBox Redux v.4.0.3
I'm using Opensuse 12.1: Linux gabcom2 3.1.10-1.16-pae #1 SMP Wed Jun 27 05:21:40 UTC 2012 (d016078) i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

What do u mean, should i try a kernel update? or is it a problem.

regards
philip

Don't mount windows shares on the server, try NFS instead if you have that option.

other than that.. a kernel upgrade hopefully will fix that bug,
take backup and do a "zypper refresh && zypper up" I guess you will get a new kernel after that

[phil_discount]

i think that cannot be the problem, because i mount on every server a windows and linux share using cifs.
if i do a kernel update using zypper up - must asterisk/dahdi/vicidial be reinstalled?

[phil_discount]

i will wait for the next crash and and read the logs .. i've got about 10 server with shares like this

CPU#0 stuck for 22s

usually a bad cpu. swap it out into another machine and see if the problem follows it (or goes away .. ).
