One "interesting" problem I've experienced on a non-HPC server is a latent memory error corrupting files being read from the disk. This showed up as occasional random SEGV's, bus errors, illegal instructions, etc and MD5 checksum errors when checked with dlocate (this is a Debian box). Removing the dodgy DIMM meant everything went back to normal, the pre-existing files weren't corrupt on disk and fortunately the server wasn't in production use yet (it was being repurposed from minor duties, so the issues hadn't surfaced before). cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.
