Shared computer (boron) is not stable #1

Open ewiger opened 9 years ago

ewiger commented 9 years ago

"This computer hangs if one runs robocopy over night but otherwise stays stable". Reported by Thomas Stoeger.

The source of the problem is not clear and is difficult to reproduce. It is suggested to run usual maintenance.

I'd like to make my statement more precise: during my last 5 attempts (spread over ~1/2 year), all 5 attempts to use robocopy on Boron crashed somewhere after 3-15h of robocoyping. Then screen was frozen (showing the last time).

I can not know if the Boron otherwise is stable, since I never use it to run an application which would require several hours. Most mornings Boron is however not crashed, suggesting that Boron does not generally crash during each night.
