[WBEL-users] more corruption (I think)

[Jim Bodkikns (Dakotacom)]

   In the last 72 hours three WBEL systems have failed. All 
installed/updated at approximately the same time. Two at customer sites and 
one in the office. The customer systems are identical systems from PFMicro. 
(P4's with SCSI). The system in house is a Supermicro dual Xeon with SCSI.

   Initially I assumed corruption of the filesystem given that all of these 
systems had been in use and functioning properly for a period of time. (With 
many reboot cycles which occur daily). And first a customer failure, 
followed by an inhouse failure and another customer failure - within 72 
hours.

   The only messages seen involve the failure to set the hostname - followed 
by boot failure, in part due to the hostname failure. (Sendmail locks for 
example). This just suddenly occured. It is shaking my confidence in WBEL.

   Has anyone had similar experiences? (Either with hostname issues or 
filesystems).
