I'll see about running memtest on it soon - I need to, anyway. As far as
the config, apart from this, and last weeks reboots (same issue, postgres
hung) it was over 400 days since it had been rebooted, and before that,
probably around 300. I haven't made any changes whatsoever, the machine
was running like a swiss watch.
I'm going to be doing more software changes and fiddling around with
things that I can fiddle with - but I've got to take it down for a new
tape drive (IDE) soon anyway, so I'll probably run the memtest program
then (if I just don't replace the RAM with known-good RAM and then test it
on my workstation later).
Thanks for the help. I'll try to remember to keep you all updated.
