I've had a 3.3-RELEASE SMP mail server up and running since December (it replaced non-Y2K compliant hardware). (PIII-500x2, 256 MB RAM) This afternoon, it locked up on me. So I rebooted it. And it locked up again. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. After being up for about 15 minutes, it would completely lock up. There wasn't any record of anything suspicious going on. No odd processes, no odd entries in the log files, no high load, no high memory usage, nothing. I've disabled the SMP kernel (running on GENERIC now), swapped out DIMMS, everything I can think of, to no avail. Right now, it's been up for almost a half an hour, which is a record for this afteroon by a factor of two. I'm completely stumped. And, since I'm the one who recommended using FreeBSD as our departmental mail server, it's my ass that's going to be in trouble. Since it was hanging every 10-15 minutes or so, and it's been up for a half hour, I'm going to babysit it a while and see if it's OK. Should I maybe upgrade to 3.5-RELEASE? Any suggestions? -- Dan Bongert dbongert@ssc.wisc.edu SSCC Unix System Administrator (608) 262-9857 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
