Yesterday, after many moons of reliable service I awoke to find this box ha=
d=20
spontaniously rebooted during the night. It's a core2quad that doesn't do=
=20
any one particular thing, but by virtue of all the stuff running on it it=20
stays pretty busy....half dozen jails, mailserver, webserver, pgsql, mysql,=
=20
occassional build machine so on and so forth. When I tried to build a=20
package with it it rebooted again about 30 seconds in to the compile....I=20
checked cpu temps, booted a live cd with the hard drive diagnostics, ran=20
memtest....hardware looks fine, which doesn't mean much of course.
Anyways, I brought the box back up, and it immediately goes in to bg_fsck +=
=20
gmirror rebuild contention....I try building a package again, and it=20
immediately reboots.
So I boot it in single user, set the bgfsck_delay to 12 hours and then brin=
g=20
it back up multiuser. It starts syncing the gmirror, I build my packages,=
=20
box works fine the rest of the day.....about 12 hours later the fsck starts=
,=20
and about 20 minutes in to it I get this spammed to the console....

I kept waiting for a panic or another reboot, but it never came.....today t=

box appears to be back in action.
I can't help but think this console message is somehow related to the reboo=
ts,=20
but no idea what really happened here.
Any insight apprectiated.....more diagnostic info is always available upon=

request.
