Hi all,

I recently built a new news server using RHL 5.0.  My news spool consists
of several brand new SCSI drives striped together in a raid0 setup.  The
SCSI controller is a Buslogic.  The system is also using a PCI IDE controller
and drives to hold the OS, over view database, history and active files, etc.

All in all this system is VERY fast, taking in multiple full feeds and
rarely using more than 5% CPU and only about a quarter of the 256 megs of
RAM (except during expire of course).

Anyway, it only takes a day or two before the file system on the striped
partition starts to become corrupted.  I start seeing directories that look
like this:

   ?r-S--srwt 3855 3855     3855     252645135 Jan  2  1978 recreational

Or directories that look ok, but if I go into one and do 'ls' I get errors
like this:

   ls: .: No such file or directory

I've completely reformatted the partition but it stills winds up getting
corrupted.

Also, during the nightly expiration process I often get a message like
this:

   Warning - running *really* low on DMA buffers.

Is this related?  Any ideas what's happening here?  Are there any known
problems using md under RHL 5.0?

Thanks in advance,

Mark
