Hi All,
My one server recently started acting very weird. At fist I couldn't
import any images with cobbler as rsync crashes the whole time. I was
told to ask on the cobbler list (maybe it's not supported here?) but I
left it at that (subscribed to far too many lists already).
Yesteday I wanted to copy some stuff from a USB disk to the server
(using rsync to update the files which have changed, or new files) but
it seems like rsync hangs without any errors.
Now, when I tried to update CentOS I get the same "error" in that yum
hangs.
At the same time I can open a new SSH session and do whatevery I like.
But it seems that running a command which takes time to complete
hangs.
For example:

Even running "top" does the same, yet I can't kill "top"
with CTRL+C,
or even "killall -9 top" from a new SSH session.
[root at intranet ~]# ps ax | grep top

/var/log/messages doesn't show me any errors.
Any suggestions on this?
