The problems started after I bought 3 new hard disks and set them up in a soft RAID5 configuration. Disk model is: Seagate 2TB Barracuda SATA III [ST2000DM001] Information from smartctl for the hard disk model follows: === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: ST2000DM001-9YN164 Serial Number: S24027T4 LU WWN Device Id: 5 000c50 0469a8710 Firmware Version: CC46 User Capacity: 2,000,398,934,016 bytes [2.00 TB] Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Mon Apr 16 23:10:54 2012 EEST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability. SMART support is: Enabled === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED Result is that it is impossible to work. So many crashes even by just opening the web browser. After each restart, there is always something different crashing.
