Look for "daily panic", and the "Dave Rivers memorial panic" in the freebsd-hackers mail archive. [You can get to the freebsd mail archives from the freebsd.org web page.] However, we have not been able to nail this down. But, there is some good news. People have reported that the problem appears to have gone away in version 3.0 (likely as a good side-effect of other changes.) You might want to try using 3.0 on your server. Lastly, if you can reliably reproduce this - it would help us get to the root of the problem. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
