Hi all

I've some problem with my «first» server.

This server have one and only one purpose : nfs server.

Recently (last week) I've change the old server by the new one (HP Proliant
ML 350 G4), the data is on a FC raid MSA1000 attach by Fiber Channel to my
server.

The old server running FreeBSD 4.x and everthing is fine.

When I install the new server I would install a new release, for that I
install...well....FreeBSD 6-Stable (I known that's not good idea to use
Stable on production).

After this upgrade everthing work fine ... until this morning. I've two
problems and I don't known if there are any relation between this two
events.

First : one my nfs client (I've ~ 10 clients) running Linux 2.4.28 kernel
have lost this nfs mount filesystem. After many «mount -a» he re-mount the
nfs filesystem...and lost it after 10 minutes. I reboot the server and
everthing working.

Second (2 hours after the first problem) : On the 6-stable I forget two of
my interface (I've 5 ethernet interfaces), and on console I've see some

	bge0 watchdog timeout problems
	fxp1 watchdog timeout problems

I've search on archive of this mailing list and I've see some one already
have this problem.

Now I've make up2date all system (cvsup , make world, etc...)

But what's you advice (all advice is welcome) if the problem come again ? 

Regards.

NB: For some reason I don't know the dmesg is empty....

NB: The hardware configuration:

	ML350 G4
	bi-pro 3.4 Ghz
	1Go Ram
	ISP Qlogic FC connector
	dual 1000Mbits/s
	dual 100Mbits/s
	one 1000Mbits/s on mothercard.
