So here goes my story while running a backup of my home partition to an
IDE hard drive using bru my system becomes totaly unresponsive can't give
it the three finger salute my telnet connection in from the laptop I was
using is still open but nothing happens when you type at it. after much
curiosity I start trying to telnet back in to do a clean shutdown and I
find a set of interesting (to me) circumstances. I can still ping the
box. I can still use Ip_masq from the laptop and go through the box to
the outside world. but I can't open telnet etc. no other network
services seem to be working but since I can still go through masq I assume
the kernel is at least sort of running.
only thing in the logs is

then I kick it over with the reset button
I have a few questions. why when it disabled hda did it lock up the
console is this a normal response? there is nothing important on this
drive all system partitions swap etc are on scsi drives.
second since everything else locked u pwhy was the ip stack and masq still
working? and if it happens again how do I get my box down cleanly so
I dont' have to wait through 14 gigs of e2fsck.
relevant stuff
box is PII-300 overclocked 266 on 100 Mhz bus no problems noticed though
128 M SDRAM
4 scsi drives 1 ide HD 1 ATAPI cd-rom
ide HD only is used for backups under linux.
kernel 2.0.35 but I've had lockups like this before with earlier kernels
while backing up like this sometimes ti happens sometimes it doesn't.
I'm not much of a kernel hacker so I don't even know where to start really
just looking for advice now.
need any more info configs etc let me know
