A bit of background: We have a NetApp filer for disk storage and FreeBSD based server of the following general configuration. bsd: 384MB ram (FreeBSD 2.2.6 + SEC Patches) P233 4 G internal SCSI wide drive Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet The Netapp filer and the FreeBSD box are on a 100Mbit switch and are the only machines directly connected to the switch. The problem, we are getting seemingly random corruptions (mostly in mail spool files), the corruptions are a bunch of NULL characters written to the file in place of real data. I cannot seem to pin it down, I am making the assumption that it has to do with the NFS interaction between the NetApp and my FreeBSD Box. I have tried to duplicate the problem but cannot, however, the users are definitely experiencing it (as I have had to fix 10 or so mail spool files). I have eliminated the mail client/server applications as a possible culprit(s) by seeing what the users do and do not have in common. Any advice anyone can offer will be appreciated.... I am nearly out of options.
