Hello, I have posted this hear as I think I have a networking related freebsd rebooting issue :) I am running a couple of FreeBSD boxes both 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD. I am using to bridge Ethernet over IP using both vtun and netgraph. I am using the netgraph script in /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ether.bridge to enable bridging as native bridging in this cut of code did not seem to work. Anyhow, to cut a long sotry short, both of my bridges were working very very well, I had tested them up to about 90Mb/sec over a public IP network and the ethernet cards generally lost frames at arounf 5000 frames/sec mark (about 1 frame in 8000) before the boxes ran into any issues. In the last week though I have been doing moderate amounts of load on these bpxes and they have been rebooting as random intervals - somtimes within minutes of each other. Before this they were working perfectly for 4 months ! What I am after is a way to turn on some form of debugging in order to find out what is causing this problem. There are no messages left in any of the var/log files that are of any help. Is there some form of crash logging or something I can switch on so when the next time it happens I can do some sort of analysis on the problem. PS. I am appreciate I am running RELEASE but it has worked for so long and if anybody can give me a set of steps to upgrade these boxes to a later rev that can be performed over an ssh session I would be very grateful :-) -- Stephen Baxter Director - PIPE Networks phone : 07 3220 1100/ 0417 818 695 fax : 07 3220 1800 ______________________________________ PIPE Networks/IX Services Australia disclaimer The above email should be read in conjunction with our standard disclaimer/terms which can be found at : http://www.pipenetworks.com/docs/disclaimer.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
