My best guess is that I need more that 64Gb because of the large disk size. Can anyone offer more than a hunch? Is there any data/evidence available on this? Does anyone have any experience with this error message:
File System Check : FSCK fatal error = 8 Disk 60000 RAID 5 9/17/2006 2:00:45 AM

I seem to recall reading on this forum that running a 4.x OS would
require more RAM (256mb preferred, might get by with 128mb). It looks like this is evidence that this is in fact the case, since allocating memory would require space in RAM (snap servers don't have virtual memory allocation, etc.).
I am curious if it is failsafe enough to stick in a 128MB SDRAM and see if it corrects it up still. I have like ten 128mb SIMMs in older machines (but not one 256mb!).
