Hi all,
I have set up a small (256M RAM) VPS at Tilaa.nl for test purposes (it has no load to speak of).
Something keeps periodically breaking. When I reboot it, it runs fine for awhile, but then things stop working. I can ssh into the server, and everything seems to be running, but server log activity has stopped nor are the nightly status mails aren't sent. When I try updating some of the installed packages using portupgrade but typically at the same two points the make command just hangs there until I put it out of its misery:
It seems so, ah... random, I am almost embarassed to ask about it here. The server appears to be sorta working (the webserver serves up pages) yet also broken.
Any ideas what might be going on here?
$ uname -r
9.0-RELEASE
