Are there any general or specific tips on how to figure out what is
causing FreeBSD to just freeze up? The machine is not at my physical
location, and I log in using ssh. I've checked all the logs in
/var/log for some kind of clue, but I haven't found anything helpful.
The machine has worked fine for over 6 months, until the last few days
it freezes up at apparently random times, normally within the first 12
hours of being up. While many ports have been added over the past 6
months, nothing was added on or around the time I started experiencing
the problem.
I guess I was wondering what some first steps people would take to
troubleshoot an unexplained system hang.
Some details:
