From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi everyone

My proxmox server is crashing daily. And I've been checking the logs. But the thing is. What do I look for? Syslog, kern and daemonlogs. I would like to fix this problem. Need advice ! Thanks

You know what the various logs are, that's good to help out. So you have any crash dumps enabled? I think on Debian (what promox is based on), you have to install kdump tools and reboot. Then it should cause a the kernel to log a dump file you can read with crash if it's a kernel crash and not something else.
