Cacti woldn't think so: the graph about swap space is plain flat (round 0%, by the way); of course it could have risen so fast that it reached 100% between two consecutive polls, but I doubt it. Besides, why would the system crash for such a reason? I'd expect application failing, not the whole kernel. Am I wrong? > Or you have a hardware error. SOB! I hope not. RAM is fine, HDs are SAS RAID with a good contoller which should have detected failures... What else can I check? > Does the "current process" > change between panics or is it always the same? Right now I've only had this crash (and hope no other will follow). In the worst case, I'll take notice. > I'm in no sense a kernel debugger, but it's a hint. I appreciate your interest anyway. bye & Thanks av.
