samba - Mar 2016 - Samba AD/DC crashed again, third time in as many months

Thanks Rowland,

They've been there all along and the thing ran for a month so my gut said
they weren't problematic.

I have been following this and I am going to add my two cents . . . had
a computer awhile back that did strange things after a few weeks.
Re-install the OS and try again. Did this twice too many times. 

Some how, quite by accident I discovered that there was a bad sata
cable. Replaced the cable and the computer is still running today, about
two years later. 

We forget that we are dealing with mechanical as well as electronic
issues, not just software. A bad electrical connection, no matter how
minor, can be confusing and difficult to sort out. What if your problem
_is_ a bad sata I (one) cable and should be a SATAII cable? Have you
tested your memory (RAM)? Bad power supply . . . and the list goes on
and on. 

Well, I think you get the idea. 

Just my two cents . . .

Appreciate the input, I had the build failures during my recompile, am
going to test ram the next chance I get, will swap out those cables for
giggles too.

Thanks again,
