But the strangest thing is that I may be seeing this on 3.2-RELEASE. Can't say what the problem is yet. You didn't mention it, but is anything logged in /var/log/messages? In my case, the system has rebooted twice without logging a thing. This machine has been running FreeBSD 24x7 since 2.0.5 (sometime in 1996), except for those occasions when I've taken it down to move it or add hardware. I'm still gathering data. When you see an unlogged reboot (looks like someone hit the reset switch), one should think hardware problem. Too much heat, too little power, a flakey motherboard... Have you added any new hardware lately? Jon Doran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
