The machine:
Tysn Tomcat IV w/ dual P200's.
Kernel 2.1.89 SMP with no other patches.
SCSI subsystem: Buslogic 935 and 4 ultra drives, tape, and CDROM.
128M Dram + 239M swap.
One thing to note is that when a process dies, it has a disk busy and
any other process that tries to access that disk for any reason also
dies.
Never any log messages, never anything to point the finger at any
sub-system.
Also, it may be noted that this happens with three machines. At first
I thought it was only one machine but today I tried another machine
for the long perl 5 compile and it died too. As did a third. All
three have different m/b's, but all have 128MB of DRAM except one
which has 64M. All are SMP kernels v2.1.89. All are SCSI subsystems
(but one is an adaptec controller) with multiple disks.
Any thoughts as to where I go from here? Or what I have to do to fix
this? If anything?
