You can add more DEBUG options for spinlock and stack usage, disable preempt and pray for a trace before the crash. If you do not have a second host to add more traffic (wrt to bandwidth and/or pps), try to dd your disk and/or your remote storage to /dev/null while watching TV. You are out of luck if it does not crash more easily. -- Ueimor
