X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 13:11:51 -0000 I recently built two machines running FreeBSD 5.2.1 for the purposes of running three services - DNS, NIS (slave server), and NFS (minor amount of data, but a reasonable amount of connections). Both machines would lock up (unpingable, nothing to be done except reset switch) after a period of time - sometimes a few days, sometimes a few hours. I tried new hardware, and even rebuilt them both on new hard drives on new machines, still with the same issue. These two machines did the previously mentioned services for only about 150 hosts. I switched them to 4.9, and they've been rock solid. I used GENERIC kernel, and was running -RELEASE's on all incantations. Seems like a bug somewhere, but I don't know where exactly, but if I can help track it down, I'd be glad to do what I can.
