Hello!

My server just crashed again (1 1/2 hours ago, after 9 days of operation). 
After the reboot I disabled logging and hope to have a stable setup now. The 
logging data is important but a running server is much more important. I'm 
also thinking of switching to THTTPd. I like TUX and the way it works (if it 
works stable), but I can't risk another crash. If someone finds and fixes the 
bug I will give TUX another try but not now.

You are right, most people have dual-systems! But it would be interessting to 
know if TUX runs stable on a single CPU system with logging turned on. As a 
said earlier I don't know much about kernel programming. But if you're right 
with your theory that the logging is a problem with concurrent disc access it 
would be interessting/helpful to know if the problem just occures with 
multi-CPU systems. That's all I wanted to say.
