I've isolated my FC6/xen crashing problems to cron backup jobs that were
running in my dom0. I have moved the jobs into a domU and now observe the
crashing behavior in the domU. At least the entire environment doesn't
come down when it's in a domU.

In my crontab, I have a series of rsnapshot backup jobs to backup a
handful of windows and linux servers. For windows machines, the script
mounts a share on the windows machine using CIFS (samba). It seems only
the Windows backup jobs crash the machine and then only crash when two or
scheduled to start at exactly the same time.

I can replicate the problem by running the crontab command from the
command line. If I run the commands one at a time, no crash. If I start
them both back to back, the crash occurs within 30 seconds or so.
Why aren't you running them sequentially? /etc/cron.daily is your friend for scheduling this kind of work.

That doesn't solve the conflict, but may allow you to work around it.
