It looks like a controlled shutdown: I used to have a server that did that about every 3 days. Take a close look at /var/messages before each reboot.

Turning off delayed acks solved it. -- -- Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
