Server Crash

[Miguel Koren O'Brien de Lacy]

Vasiliy;

I had mysterious problems once and it turned out to be a faulty SCSI 
(Quantum) disk in the swap area. This would corrupt the memory and Red 
Hat 7.3 was not able to detect or recover from this. Once the disk was 
changed, the problem went away. With 7.3 I also had some problems with 
the virtual memory management that would sometimes kill the wrong 
process and lock up the server. This was solved by adding more ram.
