When I use SSH to log in and run portsdb I get a hell of a lot of error messages (mostly saying "" doesn't exist and the dependency list is incomplete) and after a couple of hours the server reboots. Today I caught it while the screen was still displaying the error message, "Trap 12 page fault while in kernel mode". Today I was running the file output by 'portversion -c > needs.update'. The machine had been chugging away merrily for a couple of hours downloading and compiling when the same thing happened. I guess from the term "page fault" there has been a glitch in virtual memory. Is this a symptom that my hard drive might be developing problems? Oddly enough, I've run similar commands from the console and they've completed without a reboot. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
