Hi, Running an Amanda server on a dual P III, with 256 MB ram and dual Symbios SCSI adapter. Part of the hard disk are mounted in RAID with vinum on the first SCSI adapter. The Tandberg tape drive is on the second SCSI adapter. FreeBSD is: FreeBSD amanda.cs.ait.ac.th 4.11-RELEASE-p14 FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p14 #3: Thu Feb 23 14:03:05 ICT 2006 root@amanda.cs.ait.ac.th:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMALL i386 Recently (mid February) it started rebooting around 01:20, that is about 40 minutes after amanda started the nightly dumps of the various servers on my network. It's about time when amanda reaches full speed and the machine may be busy doing some high gzip compress. The first reboot occured while I was running 4.10-RELEASE-p19 so it cannot be related to the version of FreeBSD. That machine has been running like that for about one year without any problem. I set dumpdev="/dev/rda0s1b" in /etc/rc.conf, expecting to get a kernel dump in time of the crash, but I got nothing. - did I missed something? - how to prevent the machine from rebooting when it crashes? Other idea? Best regards, Olivier
