Also, the other reports I saw indicated a memory leak in ataraid or somewhere related. This system is meant to be the new master copy, from which backups will be taken, so I'd like to track down what the problem is, hw or sw. (Original server is still holding its own for now, but I don't want to have to constantly re-verify the copies, plus the old server is maxed out and giving signs of dying...) -bkc
