Hi, I have something like 20 boxes (Dell Power Edge 370, Fujitsu-Siemens PRIMERGY 200 and couple of dual AMD64 Fujitsu-Siemens) servers running 5.4-STABLE. So far, only machine that I have experienced freezing and was unable to get droped into KDB or to get any sort of vmcore was Dell Power Edge 1600SC (dual Xeon 2.4GHz with 4Gb). I have noticed that since it was running squid-2.5 linked to pthread when I have switched to oops which was compiled on 5.2.1 and linked to libc_r that machine stoped crashing (HTT disabled, IPFILTER also disabled configuration GENERIC). However, I have decided to experiment and upgraded to 6.0-CURRENT and so far I haven't experienced any problems - except one panic caused by linux.ko and running edonkeyclc for linux (it was just experiment to see if it will work on 6.0-CURRENT). I suppose that there might be some problems related to SMP on 5.4 and I don't know what for are you using problematic servers and I don't know if it is smart to use 6.0-CURRENT but so far I have positive experince with it on problematic server and would rather stay with FBSD then switching to NetBSD or OpenBSD. Regards, gg.
