I have a raid1 system with 2x 400GB SATA drives. System has been frozen several times in the last 2 weeks. I have been checking memory overnight, no problems, checked harddisks with manufacturertools, no problems found. So I think, that maybe there is something wrong somewhere in the filesystem, but how do I check? Using reiserfsck from rescuedisk on the partitions does not work. Running the rescuedisk does not freeze the system btw. So I do suspect (one of) the harddrives. What can I use to check??
Telepathic guess: you might have a driver modules problem. Unfortunately you do not mention what version of Suse you use or what hardware is involved (mainboard, lan adapter, sata controller) or even if it is a hardware raid or software raid. I would try to check the logs shortly before the time you experienced a system freeze, try to find common causes for those freezes. Also try to provoke a system freeze (if it's not a production system in use). You could check the SMART parameters of the disks with smartmon tools. Sandy
