Still, watchdog timeouts. Sigh. Hi Rudy, may I ask which clients have access to your FreeBSD 7.2 server? I had similar problems a few days ago; I have no idea what exactly happend, but Ubuntu Linux (NIS and NFS client) made my em0 timeout after a while, too, (and even crashed my FreeBSD 7.2 box a few times!) This box was rock solid before, I even thought my Intel NIC was broken... Anyway, since I had no time (and clue) to analyze this further, I took the risk and upgraded to 8.0-RC1 and, well, everything is working fine now :-) HTH
