I had problems with a couple of systems spontaneously rebooting when doing lots of disk I/O. Turned out that the 450MHz Pentium-II's in them were actually re-marked 350's. Needless to say, the problems disappeared when I put real 450's in them. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
