[Asterisk-Users] Dell server for asterisk question!

[Curt Moore]

I had a problem with ext3 and the aacraid driver specifically on 2650's when 
running RHEL 3 with the stock 2.4.21-9 kernel; boxes would hang with ext3 
faults every day or two.  The RedHat bugzilla info is as follows:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=92129

It seems that this is related to the ext3 code, and possibly that of all 
journaling filesystems, in the 2.4.21 series kernels, there's a post to this 
end in the Bugzilla thread.  I pulled and recompiled the default 2.4.22 
Fedora kernel SRPM for RHEL 3 and have had no problems since.  Your milage 
may vary...

IIRC, they'd a change in the hardware when I got my 2650 - nearly a year
ago.
