Hi all, I'm rather new to freebsd so forgive me if I am saying things that don't make sense. I have a dual opteron server running freebsd 6.1/amd64 updated 4 weeks ago. Since I moved to 6 I've been having tho following problem. When I put heavy load on the server (python scripts that take 20 minutes to complete) the server sometimes hangs. I can then not ping it anymore and it does not respond to anything (no keyboard power button etc.). Mostly there are no error messages or anything so I have no clue to what the problem is. One time it did give an error but I did not wrote it down, but as I recall it was something like SMP spin lock timed out. It hangs every three weeks Please give me some info on how I can get it to give more info or how to resolve this problem. thanks in advance Bram below are the first lines of dmesg FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2 #3: Tue Aug 1 16:30:28 CEST 2006 bram@SIMBA.jeansgallery.be:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SIMBA ACPI APIC Table: <A M I OEMAPIC > Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 (2004.56-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0xf5a Stepping = 10 Features=0x78bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2> AMD Features=0xe0500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,LM,3DNow+,3DNow> real memory = 2147418112 (2047 MB) avail memory = 2062467072 (1966 MB) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
