[NTLUG:Discuss] Serious Problem

[TJ Davis]

Okay.  I guess I was a little too jumpy in sending the first message because

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Serious Problem



Okay.  I have a serious problem going on with my RedHat Linux 7.3 server.
This thing has been up for about 3 weeks now and today, for the second time,
the screen (tty1) filled up with error messages and it was still basically
running because I could get to the web page that it was serving but I could
not login to the console or remotely through SSH.  Samba died as well.  I
also tried logging in through Webmin but it was dead as well.  My only
option was to reboot and Lord knows I don't need that problem on my only
Linux box. The error mentioned something about kjournald.  Unfortunately I
am still learning my way around log files and I have no idea as to where I
could find the logging of this error.  I guess for now if someone could
point me to where to find the log of this error that would be great and then
I can go from there unless someone happens to know from the small details
that I provided what the problem is.  Thank you.
