Server hangs when transferring files


I'm not sure if this is the right section for this post. The server I am referring to is listed in my sig. The problem I am having is when I transfer files that are over 600MB to my server. When I do that, the server hangs, and the transfer stops. I then reboot, and everything is back to normal. It was working perfectly for roughly 6-7months, but now its acting up. It works real well as a webserver, and when transferring smaller files, but the large ones (which I primarily transfer) do not go so well. I have tried transferring to both the array with 80GB drives and the array with 250GB drives, and the same thing happens. One of those 250GB hard drives in the array is an older drive that I picked up for cheap. Does it sound like a bad hard drive? Whats some good tests I can run on it within Fedora? What are the other possibilities? Sounds like a hard drive to me, but I wanted a second opinion. Thanks in advance!

Try to find out whether you are having problem with
a. Hard Disk
b. RAID controller
c. Network
d. Application Server (FTP/SAMBA/NFS)

Try out some Harddisk Benchmarking Test Softwares like

You can download Hiren's Boot CD ROM (Live CD), an 80 MB download with lots of Dos based freeware tools for checking integrity of Hard disk.

Please update us how you are Transferring the file (SAMBA/FTP/NFS).

I'm using samba to transfer the files. I don't think it is the network, because I can transfer between all my windows machines without a hitch. I' going to run some tests on the hard drives this weekend, and get back to you. Thanks again.
