[-- Attachment #1 --] I recently configured SW_WATCHDOG in my kernel and put watchdogd_enable="YES" in my rc.conf, hoping it would reboot the machine automatically if it hangs. However, it seems that the watchdog just triggers a panic without resetting the machine - how can I configure things to reboot? Also I noticed that the default timeout (what is the default timeout anyway - the watchdogd manpage doesn't tell) is a little short: I got a watchdogd triggered panic once during a normal shutdown, after "rebooting" was printed but before the reboot could happen. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBtUs8Xhc68WspdLARAhouAJwIWIS2QC8W1+gVFliVGdGvrozQKQCbB+GY WE0rNufRt+pUgrKKB8vWqv4= =TXFw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
