This is getting annoying

Found the fileserver frozen again this morning. This time it happened at about 5am, with darned near nothing going on -- there are no cron jobs scheduled for anywhere near that time. The older kernel does not seem to have made a difference. Grumble. One difference between this machine and the others I have running Etch is that it was upgraded from Sarge rather than installed from scratch. Since I have a new 400GB drive, I may try a clean install. Kind of a bore because it involves a lot of setup, but it may be worthwhile.

I tweaked my backup script so that it uses NFS mounts instead rsync over ssh -- NFS has the nice property of being stateless, and it will wait forever if the server goes down. Seems to take about the same time, so I'll leave it that way.
