I have a centos vps (Parallels Virtuozzo container) which has been running for months. However, a few days ago it started to randomly reboot itself, and i can't find out why. And the biggest problem that i don't understand is that it takes 40 minutes to reboot (as far as i can see in the logs)

root ~ # cat /var/log/messages | grep shutdown
Oct 11 13:52:11 vps27 shutdown[23968]: shutting down for system halt
Oct 14 14:55:17 vps27 shutdown[30662]: shutting down for system halt
Oct 15 06:21:23 vps27 shutdown[20157]: shutting down for system halt

And notice the time difference between shutdown and xinetd's start:

Oct 15 06:21:23 vps27 shutdown[20157]: shutting down for system halt
Oct 15 06:21:24 vps27 init: Switching to runlevel: 0
Oct 15 06:21:27 vps27 saslauthd[30614]: server_exit     : master exited: 30614
Oct 15 06:21:38 vps27 named[30661]: shutting down
Oct 15 06:21:47 vps27 exiting on signal 15
Oct 15 07:04:34 vps27 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Oct 15 07:05:06 vps27 xinetd[1471]: xinetd Version 2.3.14 started with libwrap loadavg labeled-networking options compiled in.
Oct 15 07:05:06 vps27 xinetd[1471]: Started working: 0 available services

And here's what Parallels Power Panel says in terms of Status Changes:

Oct 14, 2011 02:58:24 PM    Running                Mounted

For some reason it's getting into Mounting mode and then restarts itself.

The only problem that i can imagine is disk space utilization, which is now 84%. But can that be a reson for system halt?
