I have a new (to me) box setup running current. It is a Proliant 5500: 4x550/100/1M 1GB EDO Thunderlan 10/100 Smart 3200? RAID controller 7x9.1GB Cheetah (~54GB Raid 5) It seems to work well, but if I try to do a 'make buildworld' over NFS mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj it resets (NO PANIC). I tried building the kernel with debug in it, and after an indeterminate amount of time into the buildworld the machine resets (still NO PANIC). I am pretty sure I remember something similar to this in the past but checked the mailing lists and couldn't find it by guessing words :). There are two things about this problem that bug me. First, I do this buildworld daily using a Proliant 5500 with Quad PPro 200MHz. And second, I rsync'd the entire /usr/src tree directly to the machine and did the entire buildworld (-j6) without a hitch. I am tenuously blaming NFS (or maybe my own stupidity) at this point because the rsync uses networking and the buildworld used all the memory and CPUs. Okay, a third thing bugs me; I was gonna put gigE cards in this box and use it as a SAN with some of my databases on it remotely mounted from my database servers. I figured with enough memory in it and fast enough networking (and a BIG UPS) it would beat the pants off directly mounted hard drives in the database machines. Now I am concerned that the database machines would just constantly reboot themselves. I have swapped out processors, memory, memory cards, SCSI controllers, network cards, even re-installed on an entirely different RAID group (the original was using 36GB drives), and finally pulled out all the parts and put them in a different 5500 case with a different mainboard, I/O card, SCSI module, etc. At this point I don't think I even have any of the original parts left in the machine, but the darn things still resets if I do a NFS mounted buildworld. - brian +-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ He rides a cycle of mighty days, and \ Wm Brian McCane represents the last great schizm among\ McCane Consulting the gods.
