Hi
We are running an AMD Athlon 1Ghz server with
512Mb RAM and
2 x 40GB 7200rpm IBM Deskstar drives.
The inital installation is RedHat 7.1 and using
the SGI-RedHat 7.1
XFS 1.0 ISO from the download site.
The kernel has since been upgraded to 2.4.3-XFS
and XFS to 1.0.1.
The problem we are encountering is that
periodically the /var
partition (dev/hdb1) can no longer be written
to. The mount point
disappears!
An 'ls -la' at root level shows /var is not
there, however a 'df -m'
shows the volume as present and its capacities.
We are now considering moving the /var partition
into the / in order
to try and solve the problem.
Can you shed any light on what is going on?
We can supply SSH details for an engineer if so
desired.
I appreciate your time and hope that by fixing
this, we can continue
to recommend and implement XFS on other
production systems.
Regards
Joel
