Perhaps this has been answered before...

I am new to the list, so forgive me if this is a FAQ: 

I have a Slack system running a patched 2.2.17 kernel with raidtools
0.90 that is running RAID 1 on 2 internal 20 GB IDE drives (one on each
bus).  Periodically, and now happening more frequently, the machine will
partially freeze.  I cannot login into the machine, but the IP address
still answers.  

Here is my fstab: 

/dev/md0       swap        swap        defaults   0   0 
/dev/md1       /        ext2        defaults   1   1 
/dev/md2       /var        ext2        defaults   1   1 
/dev/md3       /home        ext2        defaults   1   1 
none             /dev/pts  devpts     gid=5,mode=620  0   0 
none             /proc    proc        defaults   0   0 


Here is my raidtab: 

raiddev /dev/md0 
        raid-level              1

        nr-spare-disks          0 
        persistent-superblock   1 
        chunk-size              4 

        device                  /dev/hda4 
        raid-disk             0 
        device                  /dev/hdb4 
        raid-disk               1 

I suspect that "maybe" my swap on md0 is causing the problem, but that
is a guess since I have nothing in the logs up to the time the machine
failed that indicates a problem.  Does anything jump out at you?
