Hi, I'm stress testing one of our systems and wondering if it should be possible to crash a rock solid box by putting it under extreme high load. I mean maximum disk I/O, RAM, CPU, etc... If so, what could cause such a crash? I'm wondering this because while stress testing last night, I un/mounted /proc several times and after a while the system panicked. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the whole message on the console as I couldn't scroll up. Was this because I touched /proc or simply because I did this while machine was in a stressful mode? I'm running the same tests right now but without un/mounting /proc in between and it seems to be solid. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
