Death of an old monster and birth of a devil

Sat, 10/07/2004 - 11:20am — whirlpool

Yesterday, I had lots of trouble with my home server. It is a Pentium I 233 MMX 32MB RAM running as a gateway, firewall, proxy and does some bandwidth shaping. It seems that the amount of hardware errors increased to an extent that software can not handle anymore. I am having lots and lots of kernel panics and so on. I think that all the hardware trouble is because of the failing hard drive. I think that the drive is failing and I should no longer depend on it.
