Hi all,
I'm rather new to freebsd so forgive me if I am saying things that don't
make sense.
I have a dual opteron server running freebsd 6.1/amd64 updated 4 weeks ago.
Since I moved to 6 I've been having tho following problem.
When I put heavy load on the server (python scripts that take 20 minutes
to complete) the server sometimes hangs.
I can then not ping it anymore and it does not respond to anything (no
keyboard power button etc.).
Mostly there are no error messages or anything so I have no clue to what
the problem is.
One time it did give an error but I did not wrote it down, but as I
recall it was something like SMP spin lock timed out.
It hangs every three weeks
Please give me some info on how I can get it to give more info or how to
resolve this problem.
thanks in advance
Bram
