Hi All! I've been running FreeBSD for about a year now, and really like it. For the kinds of things I do, it seems to be one of the most stable and best performing OS's compared to Linux, Solaris, and Windows NT. I have one problem, though, and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Occasionally, like once a week, when a server is under heavy load it crashes and reboots on its own. (By "heavy load" I mean lots of CPU activity, disk IO, and network IO.) The hardware has always been a little flakey (ABit BP6 motherboard), and I'm trying to isolate whether it is a software or hardware issue. Identical servers under less strenuous activity run for months without a problem. I'm not even sure if there is a "panic" before it reboots, and I'm not sure where the kernel dumps would get placed. Is there a way to get a clue as to what's going on? Just pointing me at the right documentation would be a great help. Thanks in advance!
