Hi,

this is a strange error that appeared me for 3 times... but.. ive catch the problem just now...

when i upload via ftp a iso file big dimension (8/12GB) the server stop responding...

In datacenter techs told me the machine is replying locally, so, prolly is "just" network error on big filesize upload...

So my question is, anyone had any problem like this?
Where i should check some logs or more information about what goes on with that server?

Tech dont accesso to the box, just reset it and then it work correctly again so... any suggestion is pretty much appreciated...


Thanks everyone
 
You probably have some bad hardware. You should ask for a hardware swap.
 
Well is my own server so tech in farm will not swap anything (is a co-location service)...

The server have any kind of problem, uptime about 6month withou any problem/downtime.. just this new problem with big files and before fly to datacenter i would try to understand if is hard disk problem or network card problem...

thanks
 
The first step is to see if there's a specific size above which the the server crashes. You might want to find a better forum to get better insight on this issue; this isn't a DirectAdmin issue and the best answers may not be found here.

You might want to run a munin-node locally to see if there's a visible cause to this. But, then again, I'm afraid you'll need to dig deeper but it's definetly worth a shot.
 
Check ifconfig to look for errors on the interface. Maybe there is more information somewhere in /proc for the nic.

Check the output of dmesg and cat /var/log/messages for kernel errors this is where you would see them for the hard drive.
