seg fault
i have a amd athlon xp 1900 server (i just got it 4-5 days ago)
now these are knwon to have a lot of hardware problems (e.g. when you do something like tar xzvf filename.tar.gz it will seg fault... and give kernel errors in /var/log/messages)
When i first got the server, i put lots of load on it, and everything seemed fine.....
ive been using it for 4 days straight now.
Usually when you put lots of load, they eventually break. e.g. seg fault, or crash.
but this one didn't! i was so happy to see it was actually a good server
then today, i went to go copy a 200mb dir to another dir, and it seg faulted....
then i put lots of load on it, it was fine...??
so im saying
it seems like this is a good server, maybesomething just caused it to seg fault
Is this a heat issue?
this may be a shot in the dark, but here goes:
I was thinking maybe when the server overheats, it will do funny things like seg fault.....?? e.g. when it is over heating, if you just happen to be using it, and you did something like say......-- > tar xzvf filename.tar.gz it'll seg fault because its over heating?
but when its not over heating it wont seg fault
i may be wrong, but can anyone shed some light on this?
