User-Agent: mutt-ng/devel-r804 (FreeBSD) Subject: Spontaneous reboots with Dell PowerEdge X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2006 10:52:17 -0000 Hi, I am hoping that someone has come across this weird happening with Dell PowerEdge 1800. We have one such server, with dual power supply, running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE. Spontaneously, the server does a hard boot and comes back up. /var/log/messages only states the previous system shutdown was unexpected. This happens at random times and is completely unpredictable. We have replaced all the RAM modules with a completely different set, just to eliminate anything to do with faulty modules, but this has not cured the problem. The server has 7 disks on a RAID 5 set. A hard reboot definately calls for a fsck, which makes the reboot process take forever. I have fsck_y_enable in rc.conf, because otherwise someone will have to manually run fsck after these spontaneous reboots! I am considering a serial console option to see if I can capture something, but apart from that I am at my wit's end reagrding this issue.
