Serious Problem<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></P>
