None. Our network is like Fort Knox so once we have a box running reliably we 
tend to leave it alone. I'm pretty new to sysadmin'ing so I'm inclined to 
'go-with-the-flow' at the moment.

I also suspected hardware initially. However the RAID5 controller reports that 
all the disks are healthy, and (once the services have been switched off) it 
runs very reliably despite having rsync/scp copying files off it for most of 
the day. Similarly the processor is running at 20% load for the past 6 hours 
doing file transfers. :-/

Still, I hear you all saying hardware! Best dig out the test disks once I've 
secured a copy of the data.

Thanks for your input

Huw
