It looks like I've stumbled upon a bug in vSphere 4 (recent update) with
FreeBSD/amd64 8.0/8-stable (but not 7.x) guests on Opteron(s). In this
combination, everything works fine until a moderate load is started - a
buildworld is enough. About five minutes after the load starts, the
vSphere client starts getting timeouts while talking with the host and
soon after the guest VM is forcibly shut down without any trace of a
reason in various logs. The same VM runs fine on hosts with Xeon CPUs.
The shutdown happens regardless if there is a vSphere client connected.
This is very repeatable, on Sun Fire X4140 hosts.
With 7.x/7.stable guests everything works fine.
I'm posting this for future reference and to see if anyone has
encountered something like that, or has an idea why this happens.
Wild guess - try disabling superpages in the guests.
It looks like your guess is perfectly correct :) The guest has been
doing buildworlds for an hour and it works fine. Thanks!
It's strange how this doesn't affect the Xeons...
