Hello,

Our file server is a compaq proliant 320DL 1U w/ 512MB ram, 18GB 320 scsi, 73GB 320
scsi, P3 1 Ghz, running FreeBSD 4.9, samba 3.0.5.

HAd it for about 16 months, been running great. About 3 months ago it rebooted with
nothing in the logs or any track of a problem. I chalked it up to isolated glick.
THen another reboot a month later. Now its every 9 hours give or take some minutes
and seconds. Again, nothing in the logs.

First, I added more ram(crucial)(only had 256MB initially), no help. then I ran
memtest and running it with 128MB it uses mlock and runs and says no problems.
Whenever I try to run memtest with more than 128, it won't mlock it(says can't) and
says it will be slower and less relieable but it finishes not-the-less and its ok.

I've run fsck -fy /dev/(mount) on all the mounts. It fines and fixes stuff on some
reboots but it doesn't always fine errors(its a file server so I figure there'll be
some since files were open when it rebooted).

I frustrated and don't know what to do.
