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.
With what you're saying, maybe my problem is that I use IPFILTER and maybe
it isn't an SMP problem? Should I switch to PF?
