If that supermicro atom board is not ecc then memory could be a culprit. I agree though: Spinrite on an SSD? How are you rebooting it? Remotely? Are your nic cards good? Is your networking equipment good? Never had a hard lock....but I did have drives that would idle out and crash pfsense. It is a known issue with BSD and I had to disable idle on the drives with WDIDLE. I replaced those with an SSD though...just to get rid of that problem. If there is nothing in the logs, it could be losing connectivity to the drives though......I could never catch the logs with the idle out issue because the drives would just drop out of the system. Did you have access to the main console when this happened? Does it have a VGA monitor? _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
