Our new FBSD 4.6 server is spontaneously rebooting a couple times a day. No related log entries -- just resets without warnings or messages. The reboot acts like a power disconnect -- it leaves open files on the drives that interrupt the start-up process, especially process lock files on PGSQL that prevent postmaster from restarting. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have even noticed. When it powers back up, the CMOS clock is still correct, but the system clock is off by (apparently) random amounts -- usually less than 12 hours. Running 4.6-Release. TYAN S2462 board with dual AMD 1666MHz processors. All hardware is new. Not finding anything telling in any of the logs, I'm beginning to guess at a power supply or board level problem. We're running current releases of apache mod_ssl, postgresql, mod_php. Nothing else fancy. No unusual cron stuff. Any thoughts/suggestions would be more than welcome.
