Thanks for your cooperation, Milan.
Probably that is one of my problems, indeed.
My slacks are poisoned with ReisersFS.
On freeBSD(with UFS) I have not encountered such situation.

The other problem is with long running queries.
A database hosted on one of my Slack servers crashes almost every day.
The crash becomes after of a long running report.
There is no power failure or other hardware crash.
