On of my Multias running Linux eventually succumbed to the dreaded "heat death" where one of the ECC logic chips on the board and it pullup resistors get fried, causing random ECC "errors". I don't think it ever panic'd the box, but it would show up as kern.crit, iirc, and then move on. The syslog level is at least high enough that it logs to console and root as well as messages. And the Multia isn't *that* bad... ;) I ran that Linux box for nearly three years nonstop until I got my AS200. (Then the Multia got demoted to a ipmasq box, then developed heat death, and that was that.) Does anyone have a "tips and tricks" about FreeeBSD on the Multia.. things I should know about before I bust out the soldering iron and fix the Multia just for kicks? Or maybe I'll just run OpenVMS on it... #!/jameel/akari for zig in $(find / -name zig); do rm -f "$zig"; done; export GREAT_JUSTICE=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
